About the role

Agilent Project Management RoleAt Agilent, you'll work directly with customers on high-impact laboratory projects that make a meaningful difference in their operations. You'll gain exposure to complex, multi-site and multi-vendor environments while expanding both your technical expertise and leadership capabilities. This role offers the opportunity to grow through a combination of hands-on field experience and increasing project ownership, all within a collaborative, customer-focused team delivering critical solutions across the life sciences industry. Are you looking for an opportunity to apply your project management expertise and technical leadership in a highly visible, customer-facing role? Join our team and play a critical part in delivering complex laboratory projects that directly support customer success. In this role, you will lead or support the end-to-end delivery of large, integrated laboratory service projects. This is a highly hands-on, field-based position requiring active engagement at customer laboratory sites across New England and mid-Atlantic States along with all of North America. You will work closely with internal teams, external partners, and customers to ensure solutions are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest quality standards. Success in this role comes from being deeply engaged in on-site execution, coordinating real-time project activities, and adapting quickly within fast-paced, operational environments where priorities shift based on project and customer needs.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Leading on-site project execution, including vendor coordination and equipment-related activities
  • Monitoring progress, resolving issues in real time, and maintaining momentum across multiple project workstreams
  • Supporting solution design, scope development, and proposal activities
  • Developing and maintaining project plans (scope, schedule, budget, resources)
  • Coordinating with customers and stakeholders to align expectations and execution
  • Delivering CrossLab solutions—including laboratory relocations, consulting, and 3D lab design—while leading meetings, driving progress, maintaining documentation, and building strong relationships across customers, internal teams, and third-party vendors
We are seeking a candidate based in Boston (MA) with a strong foundation in project management processes, tools, and best practices, complemented by hands-on experience delivering operational or facility-based projects in the field. The ideal candidate thrives in environments where success depends on coordinating physical activities, vendor execution, and on-site decision-making. You are detail-oriented, adaptable, and capable of managing multiple priorities (multi-tasking) in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Strong communication skills are essential, including the ability to lead meetings, provide clear updates, and maintain alignment across stakeholders. This role is best suited for individuals who enjoy being present where the work is happening, driving progress through direct engagement with project activities at the customer site.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
