Job description

IT Project Manager – Warehouse Automation / Intralogistics

Location: Graz, Austria – Relocation Required

Travel: international, approximately 1 week per month

ASAP Start

We are supporting a leading international warehouse automation and intralogistics organisation with the expansion of its Software Project Management team.

Due to a significant order book, large-scale projects and a restructuring of the project organisation, they are looking to hire experienced IT/Software Project Managers.

The Role

As an IT/Software Project Manager, you will take ownership of 1–4 small to medium-sized projects, forming part of wider automation programmes valued between approximately €5m and €200m.

You will coordinate software delivery across multidisciplinary project teams, working closely with software, engineering, commissioning and customer stakeholders from project initiation through implementation and handover.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing software-focused projects within warehouse automation/intralogistics environments
• Owning project schedules, milestones, risks and deliverables
• Coordinating internal technical teams and external stakeholders
• Managing customer communication throughout project delivery
• Supporting software integration, testing, commissioning and go-live activities
• Identifying and resolving project risks and escalations
• Managing multiple concurrent projects where required
• Ensuring projects are delivered against agreed scope, timeline and quality expectations

What We’re Looking For

We are primarily looking for established Project Managers, rather than Project Coordinators looking for their first PM position.

Experience within warehouse automation, intralogistics, material handling, WMS/WCS/WES or a closely related automation environment would be particularly valuable.

You should have:

• Previous experience managing technical, software or automation projects
• Strong stakeholder and customer management skills
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary technical teams
• Understanding of software implementation/integration projects
• Experience managing project schedules, risks, scope and deliverables
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Willingness to relocate to Graz, Austria
• Ability to travel internationally approximately one week per month
• EU nationality/right to work and travel freely within Europe strongly preferred

Relocation

Relocation to Graz is a requirement for this position.

Relocation support will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with support potentially including flights and accommodation for the initial training period.

Package

Final salary will depend on experience and suitability, with the upper end reserved for particularly strong profiles.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Project Manager looking to join a growing international automation environment with significant project exposure and longer-term progression opportunities.
