The Role: End-to-End Ownership

- Deliver regular status reports to internal stakeholders and external clients, maintaining high visibility on progress.

- Oversee on-site works and resolve resource constraints as they arise.

- Assist the sales team by coordinating requirements for future project bids.

About You

You are a specialist in the delivery of complex, integrated automation solutions—whether your background is in Warehouse Automation, Food & Beverage, Materials Handling, BHS or other converyored systems. You thrive in technical environments and possess the commercial acumen to manage multi-stream projects under pressure. You have/are:

- A proven track record in industrial automation or supply chain applications.

- Strong contract management skills and experience with project variations.

- Ability to build "trusted advisor" relationships with diverse stakeholders.

- Self-motivated, optimistic, and highly organized with an eye for detail.
