• Manage trial timelines, resource allocation, and stakeholder communications taking into account production schedules, material availability, and workforce capacity.
• Ensure industrialization activities comply with health, safety, and quality standards.
• Support continuous improvement by identifying bottlenecks and analysing performance data to identify areas for improvement during trials.
• Analyse results and recommend next steps based on findings.
• Act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for external project managers.
Your profile
