Capital Projects Program Manager
Full Job Posting
Role
We are seeking a Capital Projects Program Manager to lead our portfolio of facility, infrastructure, and manufacturing-equipment investments. You will connect company strategy to execution by setting priorities, coordinating cross-functional teams, and managing program scope, budget, schedule, dependencies, and risk.
Projects may include laboratories, pilot lines, production equipment, utilities, dry rooms, and manufacturing facilities. This is a hands-on role for someone who can create structure without slowing down a fast-moving organization and is comfortable in a startup environment.
Responsibilities
- Build and manage an integrated roadmap for the company’s capital projects.
- Align investments with technical milestones, operating plans, funding constraints, and commercialization goals.
- Coordinate engineering, operations, R&D, EHS, quality, finance, supply chain, and external partners.
- Establish practical program governance, reporting, stage gates, and change-control processes.
- Manage program budgets, forecasts, schedules, dependencies, resource conflicts, and risks.
- Develop business cases and decision materials for major investments.
- Support projects from feasibility and design through procurement, construction, commissioning, and operational handover.
- Provide leadership with clear, timely visibility into progress, tradeoffs, risks, and required decisions.
- Build repeatable capital-program tools and processes that support future growth.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, construction management, business, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 8+ years managing complex technical programs or industrial capital projects.
- Experience coordinating multiple projects with shared resources and dependencies.
- Strong command of budgeting, forecasting, scheduling, risk management, and executive reporting.
- Experience supporting early stage projects through design, procurement, installation or construction, commissioning, and startup.
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and adapt as priorities evolve.
- Strong communication and influence across technical teams, executives, vendors, and contractors.
- Willingness to work on-site and travel as needed.
Additional Qualifications
- Experience in batteries, chemicals, advanced materials, energy storage, semiconductors, automotive, or complex manufacturing.
- Experience with pilot, first-of-a-kind, or scale-up programs.
- Familiarity with dry rooms, process utilities, controlled environments, hazardous materials, or process safety.
- Experience building a capital-project or program-management function at a growing company.
- PMP, PgMP, PE, CCM, or a similar credential.
