VP, Engineering & Facilities

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential health technology organization in their search for a VP, Engineering & Facilities. This senior leadership role will define and scale the engineering systems, infrastructure, and technical capabilities that power a growing compounding and pharmacy fulfillment network.

This leader will own the design and evolution of an end-to-end engineering ecosystem, spanning facility design, cleanrooms, utilities, automation, manufacturing systems, and material flow from compounding through dispensing, packaging, and delivery. You will serve as the senior-most engineering partner to Pharmacy, Operations, and Quality leadership, requiring strong engineering judgment, executive presence, and deep experience in GMP- and USP-regulated environments.

This role is critical to enabling the next phase of manufacturing and fulfillment expansion, including new facility builds, cleanroom environments, production lines, utility systems, equipment installations, and automation investments.

Responsibilities

• Define and lead the enterprise engineering strategy across compounding, pharmacy, and fulfillment operations
• Establish engineering standards and scalable operating models that can be replicated across sites
• Architect end-to-end workflows and technical systems connecting production, dispensing, packaging, storage, and delivery
• Lead the design, expansion, commissioning, and ongoing support of regulated manufacturing and pharmacy facilities, including cleanrooms and controlled environments
• Own and optimize large-scale capital investment planning, including facility builds, automation, equipment, utilities, and infrastructure programs of $100M or more
• Provide technical oversight of architects, engineering firms, contractors, equipment vendors, and external subject-matter experts
• Partner closely with Quality, Pharmacy, and Operations to ensure engineering designs meet applicable cGMP, FDA, Board of Pharmacy, and USP requirements
• Translate regulatory and quality-system requirements into practical, scalable engineering standards
• Improve throughput, accuracy, reliability, capacity, and cost through system design, automation, and data-driven decision-making
• Develop enterprise approaches to preventive and predictive maintenance, asset lifecycle management, and equipment reliability
• Build and lead a high-performing, multi-disciplinary engineering and facilities organization across a multi-site network
• Serve as a key thought partner to senior leaders across Operations, Quality, Pharmacy, Supply Chain, Technology, and Finance

What We're Looking For

• 12+ years of progressive engineering leadership experience in facilities engineering, manufacturing engineering, technical services, or operations engineering
• Proven experience building and scaling engineering organizations and leading through senior technical and people leaders across multiple sites
• Strong facilities and infrastructure experience, including cleanrooms or similarly controlled environments, HVAC, electrical systems, utilities, equipment installation, and facility expansion
• Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, or comparable multidisciplinary technical experience
• Demonstrated ownership of large-scale capital programs, including facility builds, automation, equipment, and infrastructure investments
• Foundational knowledge of GMP, USP, quality systems, validation, change control, and inspection-ready operations
• Experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical devices, biotechnology, 503A/503B compounding, semiconductors, aerospace, automotive, electronics, or another high-precision manufacturing environment
• Experience overseeing external engineering firms, contractors, architects, and equipment vendors in complex technical projects
• Track record of improving reliability, throughput, quality, capacity, and cost through engineering and system-level improvements
• Strong executive communication and cross-functional influence
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related technical field required; advanced degree preferred

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct experience with sterile manufacturing, aseptic processing, pharmacy compounding, or 503A/503B operations
• Experience designing, commissioning, qualifying, or operating cleanrooms and regulated facility systems
• Experience with automation, controls, robotics, and high-throughput manufacturing or fulfillment systems
• Lean Six Sigma or related continuous-improvement certification
