Position Purpose & Location:

The position is a senior-level technical management role based at the Alfa Laval Olmi facility in Suisio (BG).

As a Project Manager, your main objective is to lead the end-to-end execution of highly engineered, custom-built mechanical products, such as high-pressure shell-and-tube heat exchangers and air coolers. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering design and workshop production, serving as the central point of contact for project planning, interdepartmental coordination, and client communication. This role requires solid experience in handling heavy manufacturing and complex product engineering, rather than standard consumer goods.

Main Responsibilities:

In this role, you will lead Order Management by overseeing the execution of complex engineered orders from contract award through to manufacturing, assembly, testing, and final delivery. You will act as the primary Corporate Interface between the engineering office, the production workshop, procurement, and quality departments to ensure alignment on specifications and timelines.

For Client Relations, you will manage direct communications, project updates, and technical coordination with international clients and stakeholders. Additionally, you will provide Technical Oversight for projects dealing with sophisticated engineering designs, complex technical drawings, highly specialized materials, and precise welding requirements, while managing Risk Management to monitor milestones and implement corrective actions on the shop floor.

Core Operational Activities:

Your daily routine will require balancing hybrid options with a strong operational presence. While hybrid remote work options are supported, close proximity to the Suisio (BG) facility is preferred to ensure a consistent, active presence alongside the production lines during critical assembly phases. Your activities will focus on bridging the office and the shop floor to handle heavy manufacturing constraints and technical risks as they arise.

Requirements & Compensation:

Education:

University Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Energy, Management, or related disciplines).

A Master’s degree is not required, as priority is given to practical experience.

Experience:

Minimum of 6 years of solid experience in a project management or project engineering role within a heavy machinery or complex product manufacturing company.

Technical Background:

A strong technical foundation with direct experience working with engineering departments, technical drawings, specialized fabrication (welding, metallurgy), and shop-floor manufacturing processes.

Languages:

Fluent written and spoken English is essential for client relations, engineering documentation, and daily collaboration.

At Alfa Laval, we carefully consider a wide range of compensation factors to determine your total compensation package. We rely on market indicators to determine compensation and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to get it right. These considerations can cause your compensation to vary and will also be dependent on your location. The starting base salary for this role is typically 40.000 € CCNL METALWORKING."
