Project Overview

MSD delivered a large-scale pan-European capital and digitalisation programme across multiple manufacturing sites, partners, and regulatory environments, including COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing scope.MSD delivered a large-scale, pan-European capital and digitalisation programme across multiple manufacturing sites, partners, and regulatory environments. The programme included early project definition, brownfield upgrades, and mission-critical COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing scope, delivered under sustained time, quality, and compliance pressure.

ENG Bauen was engaged to reinforce MSD’s delivery capability from early PMO definition through execution, operating as an owner-side partner across project, construction, automation, and validation disciplines.

ENG Bauen Solution

ENG Bauen operated as an embedded owner-side delivery partner, supporting MSD at programme level rather than through isolated resourcing. Our role spanned PMO definition, mobilisation of project and construction capability, and automation and CQV support.

PROGRAMME & PMO DEFINITION

Supporting early programme set-up including PMO structure definition, role clarity across delivery teams, and mobilisation planning across sites and partners.

PROJECT & CONSTRUCTION DELIVERY SUPPORT

Reinforcing project and construction management capability across multiple sites, supporting coordination between engineering, construction, and automation workstreams during peak delivery phases.

AUTOMATION & DIGITAL SYSTEM DELIVERY

Supporting automation governance across DCS, PLC/SCADA, EMS, and BMS systems, working alongside EPCs and system integrators to ensure alignment with MSD standards.

COMMISSIONING, QUALIFICATION & VALIDATION (CQV)

Supporting commissioning, SAT, installation, and qualification activities, including COVID-19 vaccine filling lines, maintaining continuity through to validated operations.

ECOSYSTEM & DELIVERY STABILISATION

Strengthening MSD’s delivery ecosystem by reinforcing owner-side capacity, aligning partners, and supporting regulatory confidence without replacing existing EPC or vendor relationships.

OUTCOME

ENG Bauen supported MSD in stabilising and delivering a complex multi-site European programme, improving execution continuity, reducing delivery risk, and strengthening confidence through commissioning and regulatory milestones.
