Technical Project Manager (Junior/Medior)
Econowind | Zeewolde, Flevoland | Netherlands | jobs@econowind.nl
Are you a Technical Project Manager with a passion for technology and innovation?
Do you have ambition managing complex projects and want to make a significant impact in the sustainable shipping industry? If so, we at Econowind are looking for you! Join our team and lead projects that shape the future of sustainable shipping.
Who are we?
Econowind B.V. is a leading company that focuses on wind propulsion of seagoing vessels. Some years after its establishment, Econowind is already leading in the installation of VentoFoil sail systems: A wing that works like a sail and saves about 10% fuel on sea-going vessels. We are a small company that expects to grow strongly in the coming years. Customer satisfaction, innovation and ambition are our keywords.
The position
As a (Junior/Medior) Technical Project Manager, you represent Econowind to the client throughout the process, from the purchase of a wind propulsion system to its successful installation on board. You ensure that the client can fulfil their role in the product integration process and has all the information they need.
You’ll collaborate with clients to determine the best approach for implementing our product on their vessels. By coordinating schedules across various departments—such as engineering and production—as well as with external partners like subcontractors, class societies, and ship design bureaus, you’ll ensure that everyone meets their deadlines. Your efforts will be crucial in driving the project toward a successful completion.
You invite the client for a Factory Acceptance Test and demonstrate the sold product to the client. Your on-site presence is vital for project completion, meaning you’ll travel to the vessel alongside our commissioning team. While non-office work typically accounts for about 20% of your responsibilities, this can vary depending on project status, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with clients and ensure everything runs smoothly.
As a key member of our operations team, you’ll be at the forefront of not just project management, but also on-board installation and after-service support. Our growing team of five collaborates closely with the design and engineering departments to ensure seamless execution and innovation. You will report directly to the Projects and Operations Manager, playing a vital role in our mission to deliver top-notch solutions.
