At Syngenta, our goal is to build the most collaborative and trustworthy team in agriculture, providing top-quality seeds and innovative crop protection solutions that improve farmers' success.

We are currently looking for an Engineering Project Manager II to oversee the management of Electrical and Instrumentation engineering capital projects, guaranteeing the prompt implementation of new or enhanced assets that align with business needs and adhere to established cost and safety standards.
