About the Opportunity

Technical Source is partnering with a leading biotechnology manufacturer on a large-scale FactoryTalk View SE Distributed modernization initiative - a critical program tied directly to production continuity, system reliability, and regulatory compliance.

 

This is a high-visibility role supporting the upgrade of distributed FactoryTalk systems that power GMP manufacturing operations. You’ll be at the center of a complex, multi-workstream effort, working alongside Engineering, QA, and CSV teams to ensure seamless execution in a live production environment.

 

If you thrive in fast-paced, regulated environments and enjoy coordinating complex automation initiatives; this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

What You’ll Be Driving

  • Lead and coordinate parallel FactoryTalk View SE Distributed system upgrades across multiple workstreams
  • Own and manage project schedules and milestones using Microsoft Project
  • Drive execution visibility and accountability through agile-style tracking (JIRA preferred)
  • Partner with QA and CSV teams to track validation deliverables (IQ/OQ/CSV)
  • Proactively identify risks, remove roadblocks, and protect timelines in a live GMP environment
  • Align cross-functional teams, including engineering, automation, and external vendors
  • Deliver clear, concise weekly updates to leadership and stakeholders
  • Capture and share lessons learned across system environments to improve overall execution

What You Bring

  • Proven project management experience within a GMP pharmaceutical or biotech environment
  • Experience supporting validated system upgrades in live manufacturing operations
  • Strong understanding of distributed control systems
    • FactoryTalk View SE Distributed experience strongly preferred
    • Experience with DeltaV or similar DCS also considered
  • Familiarity with CSV and validation lifecycle (IQ/OQ)
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent workstreams and competing priorities

Preferred Experience

  • Hands-on exposure to FactoryTalk View SE Distributed environments
  • Experience working with virtualized environments (vSphere)
  • Familiarity with JIRA, Agile, or Kanban tracking methodologies
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in matrixed teams

Who You Are

  • 3–7 years of experience in automation, infrastructure, or technical project management
  • Comfortable operating in highly regulated, high-complexity GMP environments
  • A strong communicator who can bring clarity to busy, cross-functional teams
  • Highly organized, proactive, and risk-aware with a solutions mindset
  • This role is focused on driving execution of a critical FactoryTalk modernization program.
  • A GMP-focused technical project management role
  • A coordination-heavy, cross-functional leadership position
  • A key contributor to automation system reliability and compliance

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct impact on mission-critical GMP production systems
  • Exposure to enterprise-level FactoryTalk modernization initiatives
  • Opportunity to work with top-tier biotech manufacturing teams
  • High visibility with leadership on a complex, multi-million-dollar program
