• Willingness to work in a fast-paced environment with quickly changing priorities

Responsabilidades

• Maintain the project schedule, milestone tracker, and action log for each robot cell design effort, in close coordination with the Project Lead Engineer
• Organize design reviews, capture decisions and open items, and follow up until each item closes
• Track customer requirements, part and process specifications, and change requests, and keep revision control on shared documentation

• Manage procurement tracking, supplier lead times, and delivery status for cell components, tooling, fixtures, and safety hardware
• Plan shipping, receiving, and site logistics, including customs and export documentation handled with GMR compliance
• Build and maintain installation plans, site readiness checklists, and travel schedules for the deployment team

• Prepare weekly status reports covering schedule, budget, risks, and decisions needed, for GMR leadership and customer stakeholders
• Track project budgets, purchase orders, and invoicing milestones with Finance
• Maintain a risk and issue register and raise schedule or scope concerns early
