  • Preparing and managing order variations, including changes in scope, time, and related claims

  • Collaborating with global technical and commercial teams to keep delivery aligned and well-coordinated

  • Working with suppliers and professional partners to support smooth project execution

  • Traveling as needed to support customer meetings, factory acceptance tests, and project activities

Special Role Requirements

You should be a motivated and organised professional who enjoys coordinating projects, solving problems, and working with both customers and technical teams.

  • The ability to manage tasks, priorities, and deadlines in a structured way

  • An understanding of project delivery, commercial tracking, or project support activities

  • An expertise in handling day-to-day customer and commercial issues with professionalism
