Your role

As Project Manager, you are ultimately responsible for the execution of multiple technical projects simultaneously. You take over a project after the quotation phase and guide it through to delivery, commissioning, and sea trials, in close cooperation with the Service team.

You bring internal and external parties together, monitor progress, and ensure that agreements regarding planning, budget, quality, and scope are met. You identify risks early, adjust when necessary, and keep the customer clearly informed. In this way, you ensure a manageable project course and a result that is both technically and financially correct.

What will you do?

• You lead projects from handover through to successful delivery and monitor planning, budget, quality, and scope in the process.

• You coordinate the collaboration between engineering, production, warehouse, purchasing, service, suppliers, and the customer.

• You monitor the progress of drawing work, revisions, and project documentation and ensure that drawings are submitted for classification in a timely manner.

• You align production and delivery schedules and intervene when progress or deliverability is under pressure.

• You recognize risks, deviations, and additional work in time and translate these into concrete actions and clear communication.

• You handle pre- and post-calculations, administrative processing, and invoicing in the ERP system.

• You maintain regular contact with the customer regarding progress, delivery agreements, changes, and delivery.

• You ensure a careful project closure and guarantee that technical and financial agreements are correctly handled.
