Descripción del empleo

Due to continued growth in Electrical Distribution Services, we are seeking a Senior Projects Specialist to lead multi medium-scale MV/LV projects, including retrofits, modernizations, and critical maintenance jobs. The role requires full ownership of assigned projects from customer handover to invoicing and payment collection with a clear focus on margin protection, digital execution, and customer satisfaction.

This position supports Schneider Electric’s digital transformation by utilizing tools such as my Schneider, Salesforce, and Eco Struxure Service Plans to streamline sales-to-execution transitions, contract creation, and progress tracking across the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the full life cycle of MV/LV electrical projects: scope validation, procurement, site works, commissioning, and handover. Use digital platforms for project creation, documentation, contract validation, and invoicing (e.g., my Schneider, Salesforce, ERP). Conduct project kick‑off meetings (internal and external), aligning stakeholders on scope, risks, and delivery plans.

Financial & Commercial Management

Track and manage project financials (budget, revenue forecasts, gross margin). Ensure timely invoicing and proactive cash collection using digitally structured contracts and automated billing triggers. Prepare and present margin analysis and evolution during project review meetings.

Update key milestones, payment terms, and progress in real‑time via Schneider digital tools to maintain transparency and performance visibility.

Risk, HSE, and Quality Control

Develop and manage project-specific HSE plans (PPE compliance, risk assessments, training, etc.). Identify risks early and implement mitigations; elevate when necessary to avoid schedule or financial impact. Ensure compliance with Schneider Electric quality standards and regulatory requirements.

Customer Engagement & Feedback

Act as the primary customer interface during project execution. Communicate proactively on progress, changes, and risks. Capture and record customer feedback via satisfaction surveys at project close‑out.

Close-out & Continuous Improvement

Organize and lead internal 'end-of-project' debriefs to document lessons learned and improvement actions. Contribute to knowledge sharing, delivery tool improvements, and feedback into the offer development process.
