Manager - Digital Transformation and Capital Project Management

Role Title: Manager — Digital-led Transformation & Capital Project Management  

Role Purpose 

Lead end-to-end digital transformation and PMO for large capital projects in metals & mining—covering planning, execution, governance, and benefits realization. You will drive adoption of digital/AI solutions (e.g., 5D BIM, advanced scheduling & risk analytics, drone/LiDAR-based progress tracking, IoT geo-fencing for materials, digital twins, and GenAI assistants for controls and reporting) to deliver measurable improvements in time, cost, quality, and safety. 

Responsibilities 

A. PMO & Governance 

• Establish and run the PMO: stage-gate governance, change control, RACI, decision logs, and escalation paths. 

• Build/maintain Integrated Master Schedule (IMS); perform critical path and what‑if analyses; lead schedule compression strategies. 

• Implement Cost Controls (budget phasing, EVM with CPI/SPI), forecast-at-completion (FAC), variance analysis, and executive reporting. 

• Drive Risk & Safety Management: risk registers, mitigations, contingency strategies, and safety audits with digital/AI insights. 

• Oversee Quality Management: ITPs, NCR/CPAR workflows, vendor surveillance; ensure compliance with OISD/PNGRB/PESO/CEIG and applicable codes. 

B. Procurement & Supply Chain 

• Own procurement management: sourcing strategy, bid evaluation, contracts/Change Orders/EOTs, LDs/incentives. 

• Run performance reviews for contractors and material vendors; track delivery performance and expediting. 

• Implement Digital Storage & Logistics Management (IoT + geo-fencing) for traceability, install-readiness, and exception alerts. 

C. Digital/AI Transformation 

• Define the digital roadmap and success metrics; orchestrate adoption of:  

• 5D BIM (cost + schedule integration) and model-based quantity management. 

• Advanced scheduling & risk analytics (constraint-based planning, scenario simulation, Monte Carlo). 

• Drone/LiDAR for volumetrics and progress; CV-based safety/compliance monitoring. 

• Power BI/Tableau control towers; GenAI copilots for reports, risk registers, and stakeholder communications. 

• Digital twins/IoT for real-time asset & utility dashboards (energy, ETP, utilities). 

• Ensure cybersecurity and data governance for TAS/PLC/SCADA integrations. 

D. Stakeholder & Delivery Leadership 

• Act as client-facing lead for multi‑billion‑dollar programs (mine expansion, beneficiation, smelters, ports/terminals, rail logistics). 

• Lead multi-disciplinary teams (civil/mech/electrical/instrumentation, digital, safety, QA/QC); coach Associates/Sr Associates. 

• Manage benefits realization; track KPIs tied to business case (throughput, cost, schedule predictability). 

Required Qualifications & Experience 

• 6–8 years relevant experience in construction + metals/mining + PMO consulting across capex projects. 

• PMP® certification (mandatory). 

• M.Tech (NICMAR) preferred (Construction/Project Management). 

• Alternatively, BE/B.Tech (Civil/Mechanical/Electrical) + MBA with strong project/PMO track record. 

• Demonstrated hands-on with at least 3 of: Primavera/MS Project, Power BI/Tableau, BIM (Navisworks/Revit/Synchro), Drone/LiDAR workflows, EVM, IoT/SCADA/TAS integrations, GenAI copilots. 

• Strong commercial acumen (contracts, claims/changes, LDs), regulatory familiarity (PESO/CEIG/environmental permits). 

Core Skills 

• Program governance, PMO operations, EVM, schedule & cost assurance, risk management. 

• Digital solutioning & change management; stakeholder management at CXO/plant head level. 

• Excellent communication; executive reporting; proposal support/pre‑sales a plus. 

Working Model 

• Consulting life: extensive travel to site/client offices (as needed). 

• Opportunity to work on multi‑billion‑dollar engagements with reputed companies; strong exposure to digital & AI transformation. 

• Location: Flexible; base in India with deployment to project sites.
