Project Manager for all Equipment and Process related topics in an Industrialization Project.

Cross functional role :
Function is a cross functional role.

General topics :

- Realize best possible technical solutions for equipment in a production site (Gigafactory, Pilot-Plant or Testing-Plant), considering the CAPEX-targets, the internal and external Quality-requirements of the product and the given timing constraints.

- Realize the best possible process, considering alle sub-functions e.g. Quality, Logistics, Maintenance, Production

o best possible material flow

o best possible layout

o best possible operability

o best possible maintainability

o best possible and most efficient intra logistic processes

o best possible and most efficient direct/inline quality processes

Ensure all needed equipment/process changes and optimizations are properly evaluated and if decided to organize a proper implementation depending on the phase of the project

- Functional leading and organizing of different cross-functional teams to ensure that all the above-mentioned equipment/process topics are implemented in the best possible way.

- Organize and lead cross-functional evaluations of several special topics to ensure the best possible solutions for all involved parties.
