• Coordinate with external stakeholders, including industry partners, knowledge institutes, universities and governmental organisations.
• Maintain project documentation, progress reports, risk registers and KPIs.
• Facilitate workshops and project meetings using appropriate methodologies such as Lean, Agile, Scrum or Design Thinking.
• Support the preparation of project proposals for national and EU-funded R&T and innovation projects.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of project management processes, governance and ways of working.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Project Management or a related field.
• Approximately 2–5 years of relevant project management experience.
• Experience managing stakeholders within complex organisations or projects.
• Demonstrable experience managing budgets, contracts and project risks.
• Sufficient technical understanding to work effectively with engineers and understand technical project deliverables.
• Strong organisational, communication and reporting skills.
• Experience working with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
• Excellent command of English.
• Experience with publicly funded research projects, research consortia or public-private partnerships is a strong advantage.
• Experience with SAP is a plus.
• Knowledge of Lean methodologies and/or a project management certification such as PMP, IPMA or Scrum is a plus.
• Experience within aerospace, high-tech innovation, energy transition or another technically complex environment is highly desirable.

Candidates with significantly more than 5 years of relevant project management experience may be considered overqualified for the scope and level of this position.
