• Follow internal stage‑gate models and present progress in monthly project reviews
• Initiate prototype production and plan testing according to national, international or customer standards
• Ensure smooth handover of designs and results to relevant stakeholders
• Document and share lessons learned to improve our processes

Technical skills with a collaborative mindset

We are looking for a forward-thinking and communicative R&D Project Manager with a genuine interest in technology and a commitment to contribute to the green transition. You take ownership, create structure and collaborate effectively across functions and disciplines. Since many of our projects span longer timeframes, you demonstrate patience, thoroughness and attention to detail.

Your background

• University degree in a technical field
• Solid experience in project management or work in a project‑driven engineering environment
• Skilled in project management tools used in R&D or engineering
• Fluent English in speech and writing

We believe that a diverse organization enables long-term performance, and that an inclusive and welcoming culture creates a better work environment. You will join a collaborative engineering environment with opportunities for professional development, training and participation in industry workshops and conferences. You will work with colleagues across departments and gain insight into advanced fiber optic technologies, high voltage systems and large scale infrastructure projects.
