You will lead automation project scopes from early involvements in the tender phase through engineering, execution, testing, commissioning, and final project handover to the client.

We are looking for an experienced and certified project manager who combines strong process automation know-how with the curiosity to bring digital tools, AI-supported ways of working, and modern collaboration methods into daily project business.

• Integrate standardized technical solutions and modular execution approaches into project delivery to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability
• Contribute to the continuous improvement and standardization of workflows, documentation, tools, templates, and project governance
• Use digital tools, data-driven transparency, and AI-supported methods to improve project planning, reporting, decision-making, and collaboration
• Foster a collaborative, solution-oriented project culture across functions, locations, and cultures

What You Bring

• A completed technical degree, ideally in automation technology, electrical engineering, process automation, computer science, industrial engineering, or a comparable field | However, we also welcome "natural-born" project managers with vocational education. Experience is what matters most.
• A recognized project management certification, PM@Siemens or IPMA
• Ideally 10 years of professional experience as a Project Manager in process automation, industrial automation, energy, infrastructure, offshore, or comparable large-scale project environments
• Strong experience in managing complex technical projects with international stakeholders, demanding customers, and multiple execution interfaces
• Solid understanding of automation systems, control systems, software-based solutions, engineering workflows, testing, and commissioning interfaces
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to manage budgets, forecast costs, evaluate project economics, and protect project profitability
• Proven ability to manage risks, claims, changes, schedules, resources, technical clarifications, and customer expectations in parallel
• High willingness to travel internationally and nationally, expected to be above 40%, depending on project phase and customer/site requirements
• Excellent communication skills in English and Spanish; additional languages like German are welcome
• A curious, forward-thinking mindset with a strong interest in digitalization, AI tools, automation trends, and modern ways of working
• Openness to international collaboration, different cultures, and interdisciplinary teamwork
