Senior Process Facilities Engineer to support an OTC cGMP Facility Relocation and Manufacturing Integration Project.
The project includes the relocation and integration of existing compounding systems, process piping, filling equipment, packaging lines, clean utilities, and supporting manufacturing infrastructure into a new facility. The project is being executed on an aggressive design-build schedule and will leverage laser scanning, BIM modeling, and prefabrication strategies to accelerate design and construction activities.
The selected individual will serve as a key technical resource supporting process equipment layout, utility integration, process piping design, and multidisciplinary coordination throughout design, construction, commissioning, and startup.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
Responsibilities
The successful candidate will work closely with the Owner, Architect/Engineer, BIM team, construction team, equipment vendors, and GMP consultants to:
Process Equipment Layout & Integration

• Review and validate owner-provided legacy design documentation and equipment layouts.
• Assist with placement and arrangement of compounding, filling, packaging, and utility equipment.
• Evaluate operator access, maintenance access, material flow, and future expansion requirements.
• Coordinate equipment installation requirements with structural, architectural, mechanical, and electrical systems.

Process Utility & Piping Design

• Develop and refine process utility concepts and routing strategies.
• Support development and review of PFDs, P&IDs, line lists, and utility requirements.
• Design or oversee design of hygienic process piping systems, including: Product transfer systems
  • Purified Water systems
  • CIP systems
  • Compressed air systems
  • Process waste systems
• Apply ASME BPE and hygienic design principles where appropriate.

BIM & Design Coordination

• Participate in scan-to-BIM and reality capture review activities.
• Utilize laser scan and BIM models to evaluate equipment placement and piping pathways.
• Coordinate process systems within Navisworks and multidisciplinary BIM models.
• Identify opportunities for prefabrication and reduction of field labor.

Construction & Startup Support

• Support review of fabrication drawings and installation details.
• Assist with tie-in planning, startup readiness, and commissioning activities.
• Participate in design reviews, constructability reviews, and GMP-related discussions.
• Support development of documentation required for turnover and qualification activities.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in process facility design, process utilities, or hygienic process systems.
• Experience with pharmaceutical, OTC, biotech, food, beverage, dairy, or other hygienic manufacturing facilities.
• Working knowledge of: ASME B31.3
  • ASME BPE
  • Hygienic piping systems
  • Process equipment integration
• Experience with:
  • Revit
  • Navisworks
  • Plant 3D or similar process design software
  • Scan-to-BIM workflows

• Strong ability to collaborate across engineering, operations, quality, OEM, and construction teams.

Ideal Candidate
This role is best suited for an engineer who understands both process systems and facility integration. We are not seeking a traditional piping drafter or a greenfield process designer. We are seeking an experienced engineer who can quickly evaluate an existing facility design, identify high-risk assumptions, optimize equipment and utility integration, and help guide an accelerated facility relocation from design through startup.
Experience supporting facility relocations, equipment reinstallation projects, manufacturing modernization projects, or complex process system integrations is highly desirable.
