The role sits at the intersection of project coordination and sales, acting as the main point of contact between internal engineering/production teams and external customers and suppliers. The successful candidate will take ownership of day-to-day project coordination tasks while progressively developing into a Project Manager role, and will also support pre-sales and sales activities such as quotations, proposals, and customer follow-ups.

Key Responsibilities

Project Coordination & Management

• Coordinate and track the progress of automation and machine vision projects from kickoff through to delivery and handover, ensuring milestones and deadlines are met.
• Support project planning, scheduling, and documentation (project plans, meeting minutes, status reports, punch lists).
• Monitor project timelines, budgets, and resource allocation, escalating risks or delays to the Project Manager/management in a timely manner.
• Work closely with engineering, production, and quality teams to ensure project deliverables meet customer specifications.
• Progressively take on end-to-end Project Manager responsibilities for automation and vision system projects as experience grows.
• Assist in preparing quotations, proposals, and technical-commercial documents for customers.
• Follow up on sales leads, customer inquiries, and orders, ensuring timely responses and accurate information.
• Support the sales team in customer visits, project presentations, and after-sales support.
• Maintain sales and project records/trackers, and assist with reporting on project and sales status.

Interface & Communication

• Act as the primary liaison between internal departments (engineering, production, procurement, quality) and external parties (customers and suppliers).
• Manage day-to-day communication with customers on project status, changes, and requirements.
• Coordinate with suppliers and vendors on component sourcing, delivery schedules, and technical queries related to automation/vision equipment.
• Ensure clear, accurate, and timely communication across all stakeholders to support smooth project execution.

Requirements

• Diploma/Degree in Engineering (Mechatronics, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial) or a related field.
• 0 - 2 years of relevant experience; exposure to project coordination, automation, machine vision, or the EMS/manufacturing industry is an advantage. Fresh graduates with a strong interest in project management and technical sales are welcome to apply.
• Good understanding of, or strong interest in developing, project management skills (planning, scheduling, stakeholder coordination) — this is the preferred core skill set for the role.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to interface effectively with both internal teams and external customers/suppliers.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage multiple projects/tasks concurrently.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint); familiarity with project management tools is a plus.
• Good command of English (spoken and written); additional languages are an advantage for customer/supplier liaison.
• Willingness to travel occasionally for customer or supplier visits, as required.

What We Offer

• Hands-on exposure to automation and machine vision projects within the EMS industry.
• Clear growth path from Project Coordinator into a full Project Manager role.
