Company description
At Airbus Tech Hub NL, we work on the development of innovative technologies that contribute to the future of aviation. The Tech Hub focuses on Research & Technology (R&T) projects aimed at accelerating the decarbonisation of the aviation sector, working together with industry partners, knowledge institutes, universities and governmental organisations.

The team operates at the intersection of technology, research and business. You will work in a highly collaborative environment where engineers, project leaders and external partners come together to turn innovative technological developments into concrete results.

About the role
For Airbus Tech Hub NL, we are looking for a Project Manager to support the successful delivery of several technical Research & Technology projects.

In this role, you will work closely with Project Leaders and a broad range of internal and external stakeholders. You will be responsible for keeping projects on track in terms of planning, budget, deliverables and quality. A key part of the role is translating technical developments into clear actions, reports and project deliverables.

Many projects are publicly funded and involve contracts, budgets and formal project deliverables. You will therefore play an important role in ensuring that contractual and financial obligations are properly monitored and fulfilled.

You will report operationally to the Head of Airbus Tech Hub NL and work closely with team leads, engineers, other project managers and supporting departments such as Finance and Legal.

Your role & responsibilities
As Project Manager, you will:
• Monitor project schedules, milestones, deliverables and budgets
• Support Project Leaders in the structured execution of technical R&T projects
• Monitor technical deliverables and translate complex technical developments into clear actions and reports
• Manage project budgets, contracts, risks and financial reporting
• Coordinate contractual and reporting obligations related to publicly funded projects
• Manage relationships with internal stakeholders, including Engineering, Finance, Legal and Communications
• Manage external stakeholders, including industry partners, knowledge institutes, universities and governmental organisations
• Maintain project documentation, progress reports, risk registers and KPIs
• Facilitate workshops and project meetings using, where appropriate, Lean, Agile, Scrum or Design Thinking methodologies
• Support project proposals for national and EU-funded R&T projects
• Contribute to continuous improvement of project management processes and governance

Your profile
You are a structured and proactive Project Manager who enjoys working in a technical and innovative environment. You are comfortable working with different stakeholders and are able to understand technical concepts and translate them into practical project actions.

You bring:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Business Administration, Project Management or a related field
• Approximately 2-5 years of relevant project management experience
• Experience with stakeholder management in a complex environment
• Demonstrable experience managing budgets and contracts
• Sufficient technical understanding to work effectively with engineers and understand technical project deliverables
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Experience working with multiple internal and external stakeholders
• Excellent command of English
• Experience with publicly funded research projects, research consortia or public-private partnerships is a strong advantage
• Experience with SAP is a plus
• Knowledge of Lean methodologies and/or a project management certification such as PMP, IPMA or Scrum is a plus

Experience within aerospace, high-tech innovation, energy transition or a similar technical environment is highly desirable.

Candidates with significantly more than 5 years of relevant project management experience may be considered overqualified for the scope and level of this position.

What we offer
• A challenging project management role within an innovative aerospace technology environment
• The opportunity to contribute to projects focused on the future and decarbonisation of aviation
• Close collaboration with engineers, universities, industry partners and governmental organisations
• Exposure to technically complex and publicly funded R&T projects
