Pharma Experience

MUST HAVES:
Provide senior leadership (executive stakeholders) with:

• • A data-driven plan vs. actual narrative
  • Clear visibility into trends, variances, and outcomes
• Eliminate ambiguity around performance accountability.

• Primavera P6 expertise (hard requirement) — must be hands-on.
• Proven experience leading earned value and performance management on large, complex capital projects.
• Strong construction-phase project controls or CAPEX PM background.
• Mega-project experience (pharma preferred but can be oil and gas)

Job Description:
This role is a Tier 1 leadership position supporting a highly complex, large-capital project (~$4.75B) that has moved beyond initial setup and is now firmly in the execution and forecasting phase.
Cost and schedule baselines were established approximately 12 months ago. While the team has a reasonable understanding of where the project is today (actuals), there is a critical gap in being able to clearly and confidently articulate where the project should be, based on earned value and integrated performance measurement.
The expectation for this role is to take ownership of earned value, cost, schedule, forecasting, and risk — and translate that data into a clear, accurate, and credible performance story for senior leadership.
This is not a coordination or reporting role. This individual must lead, integrate, challenge, and drive accountability across the project controls function.

Current Project Context

• Project is in active construction and forecasting
• Detail design ~80% complete (remaining scope primarily process piping)
• Foundations and structural steel complete
• MEP installation underway in multiple areas
• Building nearing weather-tight
• CUB target: Q2–early Q3
• Mechanical completion: Aug–Oct
• Testing: Dec–Jan

This role is focused on execution control and performance visibility, not startup planning.

Key Responsibilities
Earned Value & Integrated Performance Ownership

• Take full ownership of earned value management across the project.
• Define and maintain planned value, measure performance, and clearly articulate where the project should be vs. where it is.
• Integrate schedule (Primavera P6), cost, forecast, and budget into a single, aligned performance view.

Cost, Schedule & Forecast Integration

• Work in close daily collaboration with:
  • Cost Controller(s)
  • A team of schedulers (approx. 5 schedulers, aligned by node)
• Ensure CBS, WBS, and schedule logic are aligned and supporting earned value analysis.
• Drive consistency and alignment across:
  • Project Controls team
  • GFD Project Controls
  • Other project controls functions across the portfolio
• Produce consolidated, executive-ready performance updates — not disconnected reports.

Risk Management Ownership

• Take clear ownership of project risk management, a currently identified gap.
• Own the full lifecycle of the risk register, including:
  • Risk identification
  • Quantification (including dollarized impacts)
  • Integration into forecast and performance reporting
• Proactively elevate risk exposure and mitigation strategies to the broader team and leadership.

Leadership, Accountability & Proactivity

• Establish a high-performing, accountable project controls environment.
• Move the team beyond coordination and reporting into ownership and outcomes.
• Demonstrate a strong “can-do / go-get-it” mindset:
  • Take initiative
  • Push the team
  • Challenge assumptions and outputs
  • Drive continuous improvement
• This role requires leadership presence — not just facilitation.
  • “We can get someone to run meetings and take notes — that’s not what’s needed.”

Communication & External Representation

• Serve as the consistent, confident external interface for the Foundry project.
• Act as a clear point of contact with groups such as Patrick’s team and other stakeholders.
• Communicate proactively, transparently, and with authority — no gaps, no surprises.
• Represent the project controls function with credibility and clarity inside and outside the immediate team.

On-Site Engagement

• This role requires strong, consistent on-site presence.
• Prior lack of visibility was a critical issue.
• Success in this role depends on:
  • Daily engagement with the team
  • Real-time coordination
  • Visible leadership on site

Key Gaps This Role Is Expected to Close

1. Lack of Earned Value & Performance Visibility
   • No clear ownership of earned value
   • Poor visibility into plan vs. actual
   • Disconnected schedule, forecast, and budget views
2. Lack of Leadership, Ownership & Accountability
   • Previous approach too passive
   • Over-delegation instead of ownership
3. Lack of Proactivity
   • Need someone who drives outcomes, not just process
4. Risk Management Gap
   • No clear risk ownership or integration into forecasts
5. Lack of Integration Across Project Controls
   • Cost, schedule, and forecasting not fully aligned
6. Inconsistent External Representation

Need a strong, consistent project controls voice
