Vacancy
Our job vacancies are exclusively aimed at candidates who wish to join us directly, without involvement from staffing agencies or recruiters. We do not consider freelancers; acquisition based on these advertisements is not appreciated.
As Project Manager J/M at TILLEN, you are responsible for overseeing the entire project lifecycle, ensuring that every phase runs smoothly from start to finish. You manage the project budget and planning, monitor appointments, and make sure all tasks are followed up on time. You are always alert to scope changes and align closely with client expectations, keeping them informed about project progress and addressing any adjustments needed. Additionally, you collaborate with production companies for outsourced work and coordinate both internal and external acceptance tests, ensuring that all deliverables meet the highest standards.
In this role, you maintain project control by checking progress with team members, and making sure they have all the necessary details to complete their tasks efficiently. You track budget alignment with the project’s completion percentage and allocate hours in resource calendars to optimize team capacity. Client communication is key — you organize and lead progress meetings, kick-off calls, and ad-hoc discussions to manage expectations and provide clear updates. Occasionally, you will visit fabricators’ premises with the Lead Engineer or Service Manager for intermediate quality checks during the fabrication phase.
You will be part of a dynamic and collaborative team of Project Owners and Team Leads. Daily stand-up meetings provide space to address project highlights, while weekly planning meetings ensure resources are effectively allocated and any scheduling conflicts are resolved. The team’s shared goal is to maintain a high standard of project execution and foster an environment where communication and efficiency drive successful outcomes.
If you enjoy keeping projects on track and thrive on coordinating teams, managing client expectations, and ensuring every detail aligns perfectly, then this is the job for you.
Working week
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.
