    • Develop and maintain detailed project plans including scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, and resource allocation.

    • Fully accountable for project budgets and cost performance; identify variances and take corrective action when deviations occur.
    • Proactively identify, document, and manage project risks and issues; implement mitigation strategies and escalate as appropriate.

    Customer & Contract Management

    • Build and maintain strong working relationships with customer counterparts to drive project satisfaction and reliable delivery.

    Cross-Functional Collaboration

    • Support procurement and production readiness to ensure materials and resources are available to meet project timelines.
    • Ensure smooth project handover to Customer Service and the customer at closeout, with fully documented and agreed-upon action items.

    PMO & Process Development
