Engineering Chief of Staff

The Company is seeking an Engineering Chief of Staff to lead execution of a complex industrial facility project from engineering through operational handover. The role owns the integrated project execution plan, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and delivery accountability across engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning. Responsibilities include managing project controls and critical-path dependencies, directing external engineering and construction partners, and ensuring procurement and construction readiness. The successful candidate will lead execution reviews, resolve obstacles, manage changes and risks, and provide executive leadership with clear reporting and recommendations. They will also plan commissioning and handover, integrating safety, environmental, and quality requirements. Candidates should bring extensive EPCM and capital project leadership experience, with direct accountability for delivering complex industrial facilities through construction, commissioning, and handover. Experience in metals or mineral processing, chemicals, refining, or a similarly demanding process industry is required. Strong expertise in project controls—including integrated scheduling, cost forecasting, progress measurement, critical-path analysis, and change control—is essential. The role also requires the ability to lead multidisciplinary teams and hold engineering partners, suppliers, and contractors accountable. Practical knowledge of plant engineering, constructability, equipment installation, utilities, commissioning, and operating requirements, along with sound commercial and executive judgment, is expected.
