The Role
The Infrastructure & Corporate Citizenship (ICC) function — comprised of Global Real Estate, Construction, Facility Operations, and Corporate Citizenship — is seeking a seasoned leader to serve as Engineering Group Manager within Construction. Reporting to the Director of Construction, this role will lead a shared team of engineering subject matter experts across architectural, civil / structural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines, while also serving as a senior technical authority for the organization.
This leader will manage a center-of-excellence model for approximately 13 SMEs supporting the planning and execution of roughly 4B in annual projects across manufacturing and non-manufacturing sites. The position requires advanced knowledge and broad experience across the areas led, ownership of a distinct business area within the function, and the ability to exercise independent judgment on key technical decisions that affect multiple projects, stakeholders, and business outcomes.
The Engineering Group Manager will balance people leadership with deep technical credibility — setting priorities, assigning resources, guiding the team on complex engineering issues, strengthening technical consistency, and building organizational capability so that SME expertise is translated into better project outcomes, faster problem-solving, stronger standards, and more consistent delivery across ICC Construction.
