Job Description

The Project Manager is part of the Project & Operational Excellence team and delivers cross-functional Operations projects to PMBOK-aligned standards, from charter through formal closure.

Key Responsibilities

The Project Manager is part of the Project & Operational Excellence team and delivers cross-functional Operations projects to PMBOK-aligned standards, from charter through formal closure. The role carries execution ownership on major capital programs, supports the Advanced Manufacturing function, governs 8D problem solving for EMEA Operations, and applies AI-assisted ways of working to raise the speed, accuracy, and traceability of project delivery.
Manage assigned Operations projects end to end using PMBOK-aligned practice: charter, scope and WBS, schedule and cost baseline, RAID log, change control, stage gates, and formal closure with lessons learned
Lead delivery workstreams within major capital programs, coordinating engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, quality, and external partners against one agreed baseline
Support the Advanced Manufacturing function on industrialisation, equipment, and process deployment projects - readiness, milestone control, dependency management, and timely risk escalation
Own and run 8D governance for EMEA Operations: cadence, rigour of each 8D step, quality of containment, root cause and corrective actions, closure criteria, and yokoten of lessons learned across sites
Maintain audit-ready project documentation as a primary control, decision logs, minutes with owners and due dates, baseline revision history, gate packs, and archived evidence
Prepare and deliver status reporting and escalation for EMEA Operations Leadership — plan versus actual, critical path, risk exposure, and mitigation — with the supporting data behind every statement
Apply available AI tools to project documentation, analysis, reporting, and recurring PMO tasks, and build reusable templates and prompts the wider team can adopt
Drive alignment across plants, regional and central functions, actively surfacing dependencies, unblocking issues, and closing gaps before they become escalations

Requirements

University degree in Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or related field
Minimum 5 years of project management experience in an industrial or manufacturing environment, with full ownership of scope, schedule, cost, and risk
PMP certification, or demonstrable PMBOK-aligned practice at PMP standard
Proven documentation discipline — candidates should be prepared to walk through their own project artefacts (charter, schedule baseline, risk register, change log, gate pack, closure report)
Hands-on experience in Operational Excellence or Continuous Improvement, with practical command of structured problem solving (8D, DMAIC, 5-Why, Ishikawa) and core quality tools
Daily, practical use of AI tools on real work output, with the judgement to know where AI adds value and where it does not
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with project and reporting tools (MS Project or similar, Smartsheet, Power BI, Excel)
Fluent in English
Willingness to travel across EMEA sites as project needs require (5%)
Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or above) with delivered, finance-validated benefits
Experience in capital projects, industrialization, or new line and plant deployment
Ability to work seamlessly across functions with differing objectives, and to influence without formal authority
Proactive, self-starting operating style - identifies what needs doing and moves, rather than waiting for direction
Mission-driven ownership: takes personal accountability for the outcome, not only for the activity
High level of discipline, precision, and follow-through across parallel workloads
Comfortable in a governance- and cadence-driven environment (MOR/MBR/QBR, stage gates, action tracking)
Digital curiosity and interest in automation, digitization, and AI-enabled ways of working
Global and cultural awareness
