Your Role

The Project Team Leader is responsible for leading key customer projects from concept to completion — ensuring on-time, on-budget, and in-scope delivery across all project phases: design, material readiness, manufacturing, testing, shipping, and on-site commissioning.

The role combines direct project leadership and team management, leading a group of Project Managers while personally managing strategic or complex projects.

We are looking for a strong, proactive leader who drives projects forward, challenges teams, and ensures each milestone is achieved — no passive coordination, but active ownership and problem-solving.

Main Responsibilities

• Lead and oversee multiple customer projects from order intake to commissioning and handover.
• Manage a team of 4 Project Managers, providing guidance, priorities, and support in daily project execution.
• Ensure each project delivers on scope, budget, and timeline, according to contractual and internal requirements.
• Actively monitor project progress through structured reviews, daily tracking, escalation, and issue resolution.
• Lead and facilitate weekly project reviews and cross-functional follow-ups with Engineering, Supply Chain, and Production.
• Ensure and collaborate on Clean-to-Build (CTB) readiness before each build phase — materials, design documentation, and production plans.
• Collaborate with Production and Supply Chain to ensure smooth execution in cell-based manufacturing.
• Manage customer communication (if needed) and coordinate with Customer Center PMs during on-site installation and commissioning.
• Establish and maintain clear reporting routines – project dashboards, cost tracking, risk logs, and forecast updates.
• Take ownership of resource allocation – plan, assign, and balance workloads across projects.
• Identify and mitigate risks proactively to avoid schedule or cost deviations.
• Drive continuous improvement in project delivery and lessons learned processes.
• Ensure project documentation and change control are properly maintained.
• Promote accountability, discipline, and team focus on results and delivery performance.

To succeed, you will need

• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in project management within industrial or manufacturing environment.
• Experience leading end-to-end technical projects (design build test ship commissioning).
• Strong ability to push project progress actively, remove roadblocks, and maintain momentum.
• Proven leadership of small teams (3–6 people), ideally Project Managers or Coordinators.
• Experience in manufacturing-based projects and coordination with Supply Chain, Engineering, and Production.
• Strong grasp of project economics (budgeting, cost control, forecasting).
• Advanced skills in project tracking, reporting, and risk management (MS Project, Workfront or similar).
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Fluent English (Czech/Slovak advantage).
• Self-driven, assertive, and organized personality with a hands-on approach

In return, we offer you

• Plenty of opportunities to grow and develop
• A culture known for respectful interaction, ethical behavior and integrity
• Potential to see your ideas realized and to make an impact
• New challenges and new things to learn every day

• An interesting remuneration & benefits package incl. phone, laptop and car also for private use

• 5 weeks of vacation

• Language courses
• Life/pension insurance
• Contribution to sports activities
• Meal allowance
