• Make sure the project technical team delivers according to the project planning;
• Monitor technical costs, make sure budget for the technical part is under control;
• Coordinate all technical implementation activities done at factories or supplier premises and testing facilities until project closure

Requirements

• At least 5 years leading technical projects or 5 years as Solution Application Engineer for large and international Customer projects
• Fluent in English (written & spoken)
• At least 5 years in a technical field of expertise (Electrical Distribution, Energy Automation, AVEVA)
• Telecommunication and Networks technical skills at design level
• Hands-on experience in Electrical Monitoring and Control Systems, particularly in the Nuclear segment, including system integration, commissioning, and troubleshooting of electrical architectures and automation platforms in high-reliability environments.
