• Act as the single point of contact for all key decisions across business, operations, and technical stakeholders.
• Set strategic direction and cultivate a collaborative, transparent, and results-driven project culture.
• Ensure the facility is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest pharmaceutical standards.
• Develop and execute project governance, critical path strategies, and risk-based decision-making processes.
• Align engineering and design with global cGMP, FDA/EU regulatory requirements, and corporate standards.
• Foster collaboration with internal teams across Basel, Colorado, and Frankfurt.
• Mentor and coach your team, empowering excellence at every level.

• Master's degree in Engineering, Project Management, or a related field.
• 15-20+ years of experience in leading and delivering large-scale CAPEX projects in the pharmaceutical or biotech industries.

• Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
• Fluent in English; German is an asset.
