ABOUT THE COMPANY

GoodHiresOnly is recruiting on behalf of our client a leading global laboratory infrastructure company with over 120 years of experience in designing, manufacturing, and installing advanced laboratory solutions. The organization delivers integrated laboratory furniture, fume hoods, biological safety cabinets, and critical infrastructure for top-tier pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy, petrochemical, research, and industrial clients worldwide.

With active operations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Asia-Pacific, the company executes technically complex, multi-location projects within highly regulated environments.

ABOUT THE ROLE The Project Manager / Senior Project Manager will be deputed on-site to lead day-to-day project execution and end-to-end MEP fit-out delivery for a greenfield Petrochemical R&D; facility for a marquee global energy client (British Petroleum).

In this role, you will oversee a complex MEP fit-out project valued at over 100 Crore, spanning a Ground + 1 floor facility with double-height spaces (60,000+ sq. ft.). With civil shell construction already completed by the developer, you will lead the complete turnkey delivery of specialized, high-end MEP systems—notably high-spec electrical distribution (specialized cabling specifications, termination standards, double earthing, high-voltage safety protocols) and advanced HVAC environments.

Directing a dedicated site execution team of engineering and project management professionals, you will serve as the principal face of the organization for client leadership, design consultants, vendors, and site stakeholders. Operating on a 6-day onsite schedule, this high-visibility role requires technical depth in high-spec MEP packages, industrial/petrochemical domain experience, commercial acumen, and strong site leadership. Upon successful completion and handover of this project, you will be reassigned to other key regional projects within the organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Project Management & MEP Execution: Lead end-to-end MEP fit-out execution of the 100 Cr+ Petrochemical R&D; facility from site mobilization, equipment installation, and testing through commissioning and client handover.
