Project Coordinator in Automotive

Do you see yourself as the driving force within a project team and do you get energy from organising and coordinating? Do you enjoy working at an organisation where you can pioneer and work with the team on cool projects for leading clients?

What do we expect?

• You have at least a completed technical MBO 4 and several years of relevant work experience or a technical HBO degree;
• You have a practical hands-on mentality;
• Knowledge of mechatronics and knowledge of welding and control technology would be an added bonus;
• You have strong communication skills, and it is an advantage if you speak English or German;
• You are willing to travel 6 to 8 weeks a year. Would you like to travel more? If so, this is of course always possible in consultation!

What do we offer:

• We offer you challenging projects in a pleasant and informal atmosphere at a no-nonsense organisation;
• A laptop and a telephone;
• Plenty of opportunities for continued development and access to our own AWL Academy with >50 training programmes and participation in our vitality programme ‘Boost Your Life’.

As Project Coordinator, you are the driving force on the shop floor, where you lead one or more projects. You work on a wide range of projects, from single welding cells to complex automated production lines. This variety provides a constant challenge!

In a multidisciplinary team of mechanics and programmers from different fields, you are the link between orders, drawings and concepts. You discuss these with the Project Manager and Engineers. Before the assembly process starts, you and your team draw up a detailed plan so that the project can proceed efficiently. In addition, you carefully research and plan how many and which employees are needed for implementation. You also carry the following responsibilities:

• You manage the project team on the shop floor on a daily basis and ensure the smooth progress of the project.
• You coordinate the delivery of parts and sub-assemblies from the warehouse.
• You assess the quality of the work and, thanks to your technical commitment, suggest solutions to any problems.
• You keep track of changes and organise the necessary inspections and tests.

Together with the Team Leader and Project Manager, you are responsible for delivering a technically high-quality end product to our customers on time and within budget. Your contribution is important for the success of our company!
