Project Manager / Leader

No matter where you look, the working environment in technically oriented companies consists to a large extent of projects and associated project management. Projects in technical areas include the development of new components, the introduction of new production lines, or the construction of new test tracks for commercial vehicles at a truck manufacturer.

In addition to technical knowledge, excellent qualities in areas such as planning, coordination, leadership, and marketing are required in order to complete all the tasks required for projects.

Project planning is an essential task in project management. You have to plan achievements, quality, schedules, costs, and milestones. Extensive project management tools are available for this purpose. They are handled by the project manager or one of the project team members.

Quality Manager

As a Quality Manager in the technical field, you are responsible for improving the process, product, material, and service quality. Customer requirements need to be met in terms of product quality; quality costs have to be minimized, and throughput times shortened in order to achieve effective manufacturing processes.

You analyze production and business processes, define weaknesses, develop appropriate measures, and implement them. You work closely with the departments such as development, design, production, materials management, procurement, and possibly also with technical marketing, sales, and product management.

Engineering Project Manager

Engineering Project Managers are responsible for complete support for demanding large-scale projects. Their knowledge is even required in the evaluation of customer inquiries in order to develop concepts including alternative solutions. Engineering Project Managers bring all the threads together and involve operators, suppliers, specialist departments, and authorities in realizing projects.

Their business knowledge provides a foundation for estimating risks and including costs in calculations. You also check technical tender documents and advise on technical problems up to commissioning.
