• Ensure compliance with codes, standards, and regulatory requirements (3A, USDA, FDA, GMP, etc.), as well as QA/QC policies and performance standards. 
• Optimize resources and oversee project execution to maintain budget, schedule, and quality. 
• Conduct regular project status reporting and initiate corrective actions when necessary. 
• Work both independently and in collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver successful project outcomes.

• Proficiency in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and advanced MS Office. 
• Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to effectively convey information to internal teams, vendors, and clients. 
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, maintaining professionalism under pressure and ensuring deadlines are met. 
• Demonstrated leadership and decision-making skills with experience in multi-disciplinary project environments. 
• Knowledge of industry standards, best practices, and applicable regulatory requirements.
