Working week

Project Manager J/M

On an enjoyable workday, you feel the positive energy of the team as everyone wraps up the week and prepares for the next one. You join productive meetings, enjoy a relaxed and social lunch with TosTillen, and end the day with a clear plan for the week ahead.

On a less enjoyable workday, your schedule is filled with         back-to-back meetings, requiring you to switch between tasks frequently. The day goes by quickly, but there’s less time to focus on your own work.

Firsthand experience

During the project, your team is working on designing a structure after the client has approved the preliminary concept. Suddenly, the client requests modifications to make the structure heavier and taller due to the specific location where it will be used. What do you do?

First, you acknowledge the client's request and inform them that you will assess it internally before providing a final answer. Scope changes are common, but it’s crucial to determine whether the request falls within the existing scope or qualifies as additional work. If it requires extra work, you collaborate with the Sales team to prepare a revised quote. Once the commercial proposal is ready, you present it to the client for approval. Instead of immediately agreeing to changes, you ensure that additional time and resources are accounted for, preventing the project from exceeding its budget.

Growth

There's no rigid format for your career path. Depending on your ambitions, experience, and needs within the company, you can develop in various directions. TILLEN is growing rapidly, and we want our colleagues to benefit from this growth and grow with us. We allocate budget and time to ensure everyone thrives in a challenging environment where they can excel.

Working at TILLEN

Our vacancies are exclusively aimed at candidates who wish to join us directly without involvement from staffing agencies and recruiters. We do not engage with freelancers either; acquisition based on these advertisements is not appreciated.

TILLEN was founded in 2007 by three enthusiastic engineers with a passion for heavy constructions and lifting equipment. The company designs and delivers customized solutions for the safe and efficient handling of heavy constructions, such as those for wind farms, contributing to the energy transition. The team comprises experts in mechanical engineering and structural engineering. By pooling these skills, tailored solutions are created, manufactured, and implemented for handling heavy and unwieldy loads. The expertise extends beyond heavy lifting, serving various markets. Designs range from specialized equipment to supporting structures and other handling devices with diverse applications. In addition to engineering, an increasing part of our activities involves manufacturing our designs, ultimately delivering complete solutions to customers. This process includes visiting the manufacturing workshop, devising and conducting tests, and participating in the final acceptance by the customer.

In addition to vacancies for Sales Engineers, Project Managers, and Structural Engineers, we are always looking for CAD Engineers, Design Engineers, and Project Managers. Please send your application to Jeroen.van.hees@tillen.com
