About the Job

Our Ideal Candidate

You take ownership of outcomes, communicate with precision, and have the confidence to make informed decisions under pressure. You value collaboration, working closely with site teams, engineering, and operations to achieve a smooth, on‑schedule, right‑first‑time facility start‑up. You bring a digital and analytical mindset, use dashboards, metrics, and structured planning tools to track readiness performance, and maintain a “can‑do” attitude that balances accountability with adaptability.
