Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced IT/OT Project Lead to lead the assessment, planning, and implementation readiness for a site-wide upgrade of OT computerized systems to Windows 11 LTSC. The environment includes approximately 70+ GMP and non-GMP OT system assets distributed across Manufacturing, QC Laboratories, and Development Laboratories. The role will initially focus on conducting a comprehensive current-state assessment and developing a detailed, phased project roadmap covering technical feasibility, system dependencies, resource requirements, cost estimates, timelines, risks, procurement requirements, and implementation strategy. The successful candidate should have sufficient technical understanding of OT infrastructure, computerized systems, and regulated manufacturing environments to effectively engage with Engineering, Manufacturing, QC, IT/OT, Quality, vendors, and system integrators.
Key Responsibilities
• Lead a comprehensive assessment of the current OT computerized system landscape, including Windows OS versions, hardware, applications, interfaces, and dependencies.
• Develop an inventory and categorisation of approximately 70+ GMP and non-GMP OT systems across Manufacturing, QC, and Development Labs.
• Assess system readiness and compatibility for migration to Windows 11 LTSC.
• Identify technical gaps, obsolescence risks, cybersecurity concerns, dependencies, and upgrade constraints.
• Engage equipment vendors, application vendors, and system integrators to confirm Windows 11 compatibility, hardware requirements, software/application upgrade requirements, licensing requirements, and vendor support requirements.
• Define a risk-based and phased upgrade strategy for the site.
• Develop the overall project plan, including scope, WBS, schedule and milestones, cost estimates, resource requirements, procurement requirements, vendor support, and risk management.
• Develop business case and budgetary estimates for project approval.
• Define implementation sequencing to minimise impact to manufacturing and laboratory operations.
• Develop the proposed approach for testing, commissioning, system verification/qualification, cutover, rollback, and operational handover.
• Coordinate stakeholders across Engineering, Manufacturing Operations, QC, Development Labs, IT/OT, Quality, and vendors.
• Establish project governance, risk tracking, and management reporting.
• Support vendor selection, technical evaluation, and tender/RFP activities where required.
• Prepare the project for transition from assessment and planning into execution.
Required Qualifications
• Degree in Engineering, Information Technology, Automation, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• Strong project management experience involving OT systems, industrial IT infrastructure, or computerized systems.
• Experience managing operating system migration / infrastructure upgrade / technology refresh projects highly preferred.
• Good understanding of Windows operating systems, OT infrastructure, industrial computerized systems, network and system dependencies, and cybersecurity considerations.
• Experience within pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or other regulated manufacturing environments strongly preferred.
• Ability to work across both technical and business stakeholders.
• Strong project planning, cost estimation, risk management, and stakeholder management capabilities.
• Experience coordinating equipment vendors, software vendors, and system integrators.
• Familiarity with project planning tools such as Microsoft Project, Primavera, or equivalent.
