TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Maintain a close working relationship, as assigned, with Division Management and Customers in order to define, plan, budget, and execute capital projects to achieve cost efficiency and quality under time constraints of the assigned projects by managing project teams and suppliers, reviewing and evaluating design concepts.
- Manage the implementation of capital projects. This includes concept development, process optimization, technical and economic evaluation of alternatives, scope definition and control, estimating, cost control, scheduling, insuring schedule compliance, detailed design, compliance with engineering, safety and environmental standards and procedures, procurement of goods and services, overall supervision of construction, and preparation of information for submittal of environmental permit applications to ensure the best solution for the customer in terms of safety, compliance and cost efficiency. Be responsible, in particular, as logistics equipment expert for mixing/filling/packaging of solid products during basic design, detail design and construction phases of capital investment projects.
- Secure, through Bayer management, the necessary engineering discipline, engineering services, procurement and construction support to execute the capital plans and/or the assigned projects (internal and/or Outsourcing) by identifying the project requirements.
- Establish and maintain effective relationships with the many support groups within the Bayer Group in order to obtain timely input of their requirements into the capital projects and their assistance in project execution. These Departments or groups include Corporate and Site Environmental Control, Industrial Hygiene and Plant Safety, Site Mechanical and PCS Maintenance and Engineering, Plant Administration and Planning, Process Technology and Safety, Purchasing, Accounting and Law Departments in addition to the many groups in BTS.
- Participate in and contribute to Project Steering Committees, be a focal point between Project Team and Steering Committee on project issues and decisions.
- Establish and maintain a liaison relationship with Bayer AG colleagues during Technology Transfers and appropriate project execution phases to ensure global alignment on technologies and methods by actively interacting with colleagues from other regions and sub-groups.
- Prepare, plan and execute Capital Projects in accordance to department vision, commitment and goals to ensure sustainable long-term success of the engineering discipline in the department and the close relationship with the customers. Includes selection of engineering, procurement and construction approaches, selection of potential vendors and contractors, evaluation of bids and approval of successful candidates.
- Provide management with updated analysis and projections on the status of capital projects focusing on management of change, schedule compliance, cost control and major project activity highlights to enable management to support and steer the project.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- A BS or preferably a MS degree, in Mechanical, Logistics or Industrial Engineering, is a minimum to understanding and evaluating technical input for engineering concepts, drawings and strategies, for interfacing with discipline engineering and construction groups, and for interpretation and prioritization of diverse and complex engineering activities, in order to obtain an optimal design for plant operability and cost effectiveness.
- In-depth knowledge on logistic equipments for mixing/storage/filling/packaging processes in the regulated industry. Minimum 3+ years experience in equipment design and selection in order to ensure cost efficiency of projects, to facilitate maintenance and operability for long-term usage and to ensure minimum operational expenses of the chosen set-up.
- A good understanding of logistics principles and design of the project discipline activities is a must for obtaining a complete design concept. This position requires experience directly related to the principles and procedures (both in-house and outsourcing methods) of logistics/project engineering and experience in controlling and integrating the activities associated with design/construction projects. Such experience would typically be gained through 2+ years of combined logistics engineering and project engineering/management job exposure.
- An understanding of general business principles and procedures is beneficial in the handling of cost-related aspects of project management. Interaction with, and evaluation of proposals from various levels of people from different groups (both within and outside the company), is frequent and requires good communicative skills and the ability to influence and direct others toward common objectives.
