​Senior Capital Project Engineer


Working exclusively with an international full-service CDMO, we are looking to appoint a brand new Senior Capital Project Engineer to play a pivotal role in the upgrade and expansion of key sites in Missouri.


Over the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, there are a number of critical capital investment projects underway, including upgrading equipment, installing new lines advancing technological capability.


For this critical hire, the business is looking to bring in a Senior Capital Project Engineer with experience specifically around sterile and aseptic fill-finish and packaging lines. With your project / program engineering experience, you will bring strong knowledge in the challenges and hurdles the site faces in this transitional period. Working closely with in-house operations, process engineering and validation teams, you will provide timely project oversight experience – importantly, with the ability to support in a hands-on manner.


Coming from an inspection-ready perspective you will bring a problem-solving approach and be comfortable working in the fast paced, ever-changing CDMO setting.


Given the site upgrades, the expansion and the pipeline of customer business, development prospects are significant in what is already a highly reputable, global brand.
