Freelance Manufacturing Project Manager (Electromechanical)
Project Description
Our client, a leading player in the manufacturing sector, is launching a strategic investment initiative to upgrade their production capabilities. This involves configuring, laying out, and implementing highly customized electromechanical manufacturing machinery, tailored to specific production needs and not off-the-shelf solutions. The project manager’s goal is to connect all technical components and stakeholders to ensure a smooth and timely rollout of the project.
Responsibilities
- Lead and manage the full lifecycle of the investment project, from planning and layout to implementation of new machinery.
- Translate business objectives into actionable plans, timelines, and deliverables.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanical and technical engineers to ensure alignment across all project phases.
- Coordinate installation and commissioning activities, ensuring machines are delivered and integrated effectively.
- Monitor timelines, budgets, and resource allocation to ensure smooth execution.
- Identify and manage project risks, resolving issues proactively.
- Act as the communication bridge between technical teams and senior stakeholders, providing regular updates and clear reporting.
Requirements
Experience & Background:
- Proven experience as a Project Manager in manufacturing or industrial environments.
- Strong track record leading similar investment or machinery implementation projects.
- Experience coordinating technical profiles, especially in electromechanical setups.
- Pragmatic and hands-on approach; able to step in where needed without taking over execution.
- Engineering or technical background preferred, but this is not a hands-on technical role.
Knowledge & Skills:
- Solid understanding of manufacturing workflows and machinery integration.
- Strong organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Able to “connect the dots” across different departments and disciplines.
- English fluency is required; Dutch is a plus but not mandatory.
