Coordinate engineering, procurement, manufacturing, quality, logistics, field service, vendors, and subcontractors.
Monitor project scope and manage changes, approvals, and contractual commitments.
Resolve technical, commercial, scheduling, manufacturing, and operational challenges.
Lead escalations requiring cross-functional coordination and senior-level decision-making.
Track project financial performance, including costs, margins, forecasts, billing milestones, revenue, and cash flow.
Review project performance against schedule, budget, quality, contractual, and customer expectations.
Identify project and commercial risks and implement appropriate mitigation plans.
Ensure compliance with contracts, internal procedures, regulatory requirements, customer specifications, and quality standards.
Maintain accurate and auditable project documentation.
Conduct customer meetings, supplier reviews, factory visits, and project-site visits when required.
Lead lessons-learned reviews, corrective actions, root-cause investigations, and process-improvement initiatives.
Support and mentor less-experienced project management personnel.
Contribute to project management standards, operating procedures, and broader business objectives.

Knowledge and Skills

Strong understanding of electrical and industrial systems, including motors, generators, rotating equipment, power electronics, drive systems, or integrated energy equipment.
Familiarity with applicable standards, such as NEMA, IEC, IEEE, and UL.
Strong knowledge of project lifecycle management, scheduling, project controls, risk management, and change management.
