- Manage changes to the project scope, project schedule, and project costs using appropriate verification techniques.
- Perform risk management to minimize project risks.
- Create and maintain comprehensive project documentation.
- Support technical discussions and contractual negotiations between the company and suppliers.
- Prepare reports for upper management regarding status of projects.
- Enhance department and organization by exploring opportunities for process improvement to add value to job accomplishments.
- Develop spreadsheets, diagrams, and process maps to document needs.

- Foundational technical knowledge of Automotive, Heavy Equipment, hydraulic systems, mechanical systems and/or ESS battery systems
- Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) to build consensus in a manner that is positive, clear, and effective across multiple departments.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to successfully lead in a matrix environment.
- Solid problem-solving skills.
- Technically capable, with a mindset to assess and adapt strategies based on market and customer feedback.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong working knowledge of project management software/tools and Microsoft Office.
