• Own project planning, scheduling, and milestone tracking across a concurrent portfolio of projects, coordinating activities across engineering, manufacturing, and global supply chain functions.




• Proactively identify, log, and mitigate project risks and scope changes, maintaining an up-to-date risk register and escalating where necessary.




• Manage customer technical interactions where required, supporting regional project managers in clarifying design specifications and gaining customer approval at key project stages.




• Schedule, coordinate, and host Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) with customers.




• Support cross-functional activities including tendering, vendor management, and manufacturing engagement as required.




• Prepare and report project KPIs, keeping stakeholders informed of progress, risks, and delivery commitments.




• Champion a positive environment, health, and safety culture, collaborating with EHS teams to prevent incidents and drive continuous improvement.
