About the role

Are you a driven and structured leader who thrives on keeping complex projects moving, building strong customer relationships, and getting the best out of the people around you? As we continue transforming the wood industry with cutting-edge AI and vision technologies, we're looking for a Technical Project Manager to own the delivery of our solutions from project start to handover.

As Technical Project Manager you take over from sales and carry the project through to a successful delivery.

You translate their needs into a technical description for the delivery, set and maintain the timeline, and keep every stakeholder aligned, from the customer to automation engineers and the team.

You are the person who makes sure the project stays on schedule, the communication keeps flowing in both directions, and the right questions get asked at the right time. This is a role for someone who is comfortable leading customer dialogue, pushing decisions forward, challenging assumptions when needed, and holding many balls in the air without dropping any.
