Head of Project Management

The Company is seeking a Head of Project Management to lead a division’s full project portfolio, from order intake through site acceptance. The role is accountable for performance across schedule, cost, quality, margins, cash flow, and customer commitments, while overseeing portfolio planning, project reviews, risks, and corrective actions. The successful candidate will coordinate cross-functional teams, address critical project issues, and serve as a senior escalation point for complex customer situations. They will also strengthen project management practices by establishing consistent methodologies, governance, tools, and reporting, while developing the project management and PMO teams. Candidates should have a degree in engineering or an equivalent technical discipline and at least 15 years of experience in project, program, or portfolio management. Experience leading project managers and complex portfolios—preferably in industrial, machinery, engineered-to-order, automation, or EPC environments—is required, along with strong knowledge of project economics, financial controls, cash flow, and risk management. The role also calls for experience with critical projects, recovery plans, customer escalations, and international, multi-site organizations. Familiarity with portfolio management tools and fluent English are required; PMP or PRINCE2 certification is an advantage.
