THE ROLE

As the interim IT Project Manager MES Implementation at Damen Naval, you will spearhead the implementation of our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) for the shipbuilding industry we are operating in.

• Proactively monitor and mitigate risks that threaten project success.

• Knowledge of Bill of Process, Bill of Information, Bill of Materials, and Assembly driven thinking.
• Strong ability to connect IT, engineering, and manufacturing, ensuring smooth cross-functional collaboration.
