Project Lead Role for SIL Shop Floor Integration (Ignition) deployment.
Background: Our client is rolling out their Shop Floor Integration Layer (SIL) program using Inductive Automation Ignition platform across multiple sites, and it's a key initiative for seamless manufacturing connectivity.
The SIL program is essential for our digital manufactory maturity, enabling real-time data flow, automation, and efficiency in manufacturing. Ignition's SCADA/MES capabilities require site-specific adaptations, and our current team is stretched.
* This role will handle coordination, planning, and issue escalation without the full weight of a traditional Project Manager, while staying deeply grounded in site-level work.
* The role should be positioned in the EU for better alignment with site operations and time zones.
* This role will bridge global goals with hands‑on site execution, gathering requirements, documenting standards, and advancing progress to ensure we hit milestones and manage risks effectively.
* Most importantly this role would be dedicated to SIL and driving the execution as well as the change management.
Key Responsibilities
* Build detailed project plans for each site, including milestones, resources, and Ignition setups.
* Work with site PMs to customize plans, factoring in local needs and challenges.
* Follow up on tasks daily/weekly using tools like MS Teams or Ignition reports to stay on schedule.
* Send weekly updates to the global team with progress, risks, and integration metrics.
* Manage scope changes formally, checking impacts on timelines and system integrity.
* Flag and elevate issues (technical or integration‑related) quickly for resolution.
* Track and coordinate support from the global team, like expertise or funding.
* Develop and document standards for shop floor integration, ensuring consistency across sites via Ignition.
* Gather key requirements from sites through consultations, workshops, or surveys to inform plans and standards.
* Advance the work forward overall, staying grounded in site realities to drive practical implementation and problem‑solving.
* Expected travel up to 50% to EU and other sites globally.
Qualifications
* 5+ years' experience in project engineering or management, ideally with automation project management in pharma industry, industrial automation (Ignition SCADA/MES, shop floor integration, etc.).
* No direct reports but works with site PMs and global teams.
* Positioned in EU for proximity to key sites and practical grounding.
