Job Description
Position Summary
The Senior Executive – MEP Operations will be responsible for the day-to-day operation, monitoring, maintenance, and reliability of all Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems supporting the Genome Valley R&D Campus. This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong technical expertise in laboratory infrastructure, utilities, and building systems to ensure uninterrupted operations, regulatory compliance, and safe working conditions.
The role will work closely with Facilities Management ( ISP's), Engineering, EH&S, laboratory stakeholders, OEMs, consultants, and service providers to ensure all critical infrastructure is maintained in accordance with Amgen standards and global engineering practices.

Similar opportunities
The closest matches from our peer group, ranked by how similar they are, not how well you'd qualify for them -- treat this as market context, not a guaranteed shortlist; a weak match is labeled as one below.
How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
