You are an experienced project manager with international experience which counts for more than your formal education. The complexity in the job requires that you have a good financial understanding and a solid technical foundation.

Experience as project manager with turnkey deliveries or with equipment for the process industry, is a promoting competence. You probably already have international experience, and your private situation allows you to have 40-50 yearly travel days. Company language is English and if you besides that have some knowledge to German or Spanish it will be an advantage.

We offer

You are offered an exciting and challenging senior project manager position with great freedom in an international organization, where you can create significant and visible results.
