When you join Lummus, you are empowered to make an impact and be part of a dynamic team that celebrates creativity, encourages professional development, and fosters collaboration.\nFrom our technology portfolio to our global workforce, Lummus is growing at a rapid pace, and we hope that you will grow with us during this exciting time.\nAbout Zimpro and Lummus ModularZimpro and Lummus Modular are growth platforms within Lummus Technology that deliver advanced water treatment, modular process solutions and sustainable technology applications for energy and industrial clients. With an expanding pipeline of large capital projects, the businesses require disciplined engineering execution, cost transparency, standardization and a scalable global delivery model to convert commercial opportunities into safe, profitable and repeatable project outcomes.\nJob Summary\nThe Senior Manager - Project & Engineering Management serves as the senior technical and execution leader for Zimpro and Lummus Modular. The role leads project engineering and execution from FEED through commissioning, provides project management oversight, and drives value engineering, standardization, supplier development and third-party engineering governance. Working directly with clients, EPC partners, design centers and fabrication partners, the incumbent ensures that the project portfolio is delivered safely, on schedule, within budget.\nStrategic Priorities\nBuild the engineering execution capacity required to convert a growing capital-project pipeline into delivered, profitable work.\nDrive value engineering, installed-cost transparency and measurable cost-out across the technology portfolio.\nStandardize and commercialize most technologies into repeatable, tiered packages that reduce engineering hours and proposal cycle time.\nExpand and qualify the supplier, fabrication and engineering-partner base in India and other cost-competitive locations.\nEstablish robust governance for outsourced engineering while preserving design integrity, quality, schedule and cost performance.\nBuild a high-performing, multicultural engineering organization with strong technical capability, resource flexibility and succession depth.\nKey Responsibilities\nProject Management and Delivery Leadership\nProvide project management leadership, including schedule tracking, progress reporting, resource planning and proactive escalation of cost, quality or timeline risks.\nMaintain budget and commercial discipline, including project-cost visibility, basic financial analysis, change control and cost-risk assessment.\nEnsure compliance with process safety, quality assurance, non-conformance and engineering-governance requirements.\nProject Engineering Execution\nServe as the senior engineering lead for large capital projects across Zimpro and Lummus Modular, with accountability from FEED through detailed engineering, procurement support, fabrication, construction and commissioning.\nCoordinate and review multidisciplinary inputs across process, mechanical, electrical, and controls, as well as external subcontractors, to ensure complete, integrated and on-schedule deliverables.\nInterface directly with end users and EPC partners, lead scope-of-work development and technical negotiations and resolve complex execution issues.\nValue Engineering and Cost Ownership\nLead value engineering across the technology portfolio, identifying design simplification, specification optimization and cost-out opportunities without compromising safety, performance or reliability.\nBuild and maintain a fact-based understanding of true installed cost across the offering, closing cost-visibility gaps and improving estimating, pricing and margin decisions.\nStandardization and Commercialization\nLead the standardization and commercialization of the portfolio, moving from predominantly custom-engineered designs to repeatable, configurable and tiered package solutions.\nCreate reusable engineering standards, design modules and execution playbooks that reduce non-conformance, engineering hours and cycle time.\nSupplier Base Expansion and Third-Party Governance\nExpand and qualify the supplier and fabrication base in India and other strategic locations to improve cost competitiveness.\nReview vendor quotations and purchase requisitions for compliance with project specifications and technical requirements.\nDefine scope boundaries, technical guardrails, quality protocols and performance controls for third-party engineering firms and fabrication partners.\nTeam and Cross-Entity Leadership\nBuild and lead multicultural, cross-functional engineering teams across global design centers, regional offices and outsourced partners.\nOptimize resource utilization across concurrent projects and provide technical mentoring and development to junior and mid-level engineers.\nPromote collaboration, accountability, knowledge sharing and continuous improvement across Zimpro, Lummus Modular and the broader sustainable technologies portfolio.\nJob Requirements\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or a comparable engineering discipline.\nAt least 10 to 15 years of experience managing complex engineering and capital projects across oil and gas, refining, petrochemicals, water treatment or adjacent industrial sectors.\nProven record of delivering large-scale projects for major international energy and industrial clients.\nDirect customer-facing experience, including scope development, technical negotiation and contract execution.\nDeep hands-on expertise in advanced water-treatment technologies such as Wet Air Oxidation, PACT-WAR and biological oxidation, together with exposure to other equipment or modular supply projects.\nDemonstrated success in value engineering and standardization initiatives that deliver measurable reductions in cost, engineering hours, non-conformance and cycle time.\nExperience leading global, multicultural and multidisciplinary engineering teams.\nPreferred Qualifications\nProfessional Engineer license, Project Management Professional certification, Certified Cost Professional, Six Sigma or a comparable industry-recognized credential.\nExperience in modular fabrication or multi-entity capital-project delivery structures similar to Zimpro and Lummus Modular.\nFamiliarity with EPC and PMC governance frameworks and direct experience qualifying fabrication or engineering partners in Asia or other cost-competitive engineering hubs.\nLeadership Competencies\nExecution leadership: Translates commercial pipeline into disciplined project management and engineering plans and consistently delivers safe, high-quality project outcomes.\nTechnical credibility: Applies deep engineering judgment, challenges assumptions and earns confidence with clients, EPC partners and internal stakeholders.\nCommercial and cost orientation: Understands cost drivers, makes fact-based trade-offs and protects project margin through rigorous scope and change control.\nContinuous improvement: Champions standardization, value engineering, digital tools and repeatable delivery practices.\nCollaboration and influence: Aligns cross-functional, cross-entity and third-party teams around shared priorities and clear accountabilities.\nTalent development: Builds capability, mentors engineers, transfers knowledge and develops a sustainable technical pipeline.\nChange leadership: Creates structure in fast-growing environments, anticipates risk and adapts quickly without compromising safety or quality.\nKey KPIs / Success Measures\nProject budget performance, margin protection and cost forecast accuracy\nProject schedule adherence, milestone achievement and on-time engineering deliverables\nSupplier and third-party partner qualification, cost competitiveness and delivery performance\nResource utilization, engineering capacity and portfolio delivery readiness\nEngineering hours, cycle-time and installed-cost reduction from value engineering and standardization\nNon-conformance, rework, quality and process-safety performance\nPACT-WAR, ZEO
