Act as the primary project interface between OsecoElfab and the customer's project team, including EPC contractors, end-user representatives, inspectors, and appointed third-party stakeholders. Translate customer project requirements into clear internal actions, deliverables, schedules, responsibilities, and communication plans.

Coordinate internal project activities across Commercial, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Planning, Logistics, and Finance. Ensure technical, quality, documentation, inspection, certification, testing, packaging, shipping, and commercial requirements are understood and delivered. Monitor project progress against customer milestones, contractual commitments, internal delivery dates, and agreed project deliverables. Identify project risks, constraints, and bottlenecks early, ensuring mitigation actions are agreed, owned, tracked, and escalated where required. Manage customer-facing project changes, including scope clarification, schedule impacts, documentation changes, inspection changes, and commercial variation requests. Support structured project reviews, customer progress meetings, internal project meetings, and formal project close-out reviews.
• Internal Cross-Functional Coordination: Drive alignment between internal functions to ensure customer project requirements are delivered in a coordinated and controlled manner. Work closely with Commercial and Sales teams to ensure customer commitments, contractual requirements, and project expectations are clearly understood. Coordinate Engineering deliverables, technical clarification responses, drawing approvals, design reviews, and customer documentation submissions. Work with Quality to ensure inspection and test plans, certification, compliance requirements, customer hold points, and final documentation packs are delivered on time. Partner with Supply Chain to monitor supplier deliverables, special material requirements, outsourced processes, and vendor documentation. Coordinate with Manufacturing and Planning to ensure production schedules, capacity constraints, testing requirements, and shipment dates are visible and managed. Ensure project actions are clearly assigned, followed up, and closed in line with agreed project timing.
• Customer Communication & Stakeholder Management: Provide clear, timely, and professional communication to customer project teams on project status, risks, actions, and required decisions. Prepare and issue customer-facing project reports, meeting agendas, minutes, action logs, and progress updates. Manage customer expectations around schedule, documentation, technical clarifications, inspection points, and delivery commitments. Act as the escalation point for project coordination issues, ensuring concerns are resolved quickly and constructively. Represent OsecoElfab in customer project meetings, internal leadership reviews, and cross-functional project forums.
• General Project Management: Support the delivery of capital machinery projects, internal operational improvement projects, and new product development projects as required. Apply consistent project management principles including scope definition, planning, governance, risk management, resource coordination, and performance tracking. Support the development and use of project management tools, dashboards, templates, stage-gate processes, and standard work. Contribute to continuous improvement of project delivery processes, project visibility, cross-functional accountability, and lessons learned.
• Project Governance, Reporting & Continuous Improvement: Maintain accurate project records, including project plans, schedules, risk registers, meeting minutes, action trackers, change logs, and customer communication records. Develop and maintain project KPIs relating to on-time delivery, milestone adherence, documentation performance, customer satisfaction, and issue resolution. Support project prioritisation, capacity visibility, and management reporting across the active project portfolio. Ensure lessons learned are captured and used to improve future project execution.
