Responsibilities & Key Deliverables Co-ordinating and controlling projects from concept to postproduction launch of new and modified components and vehicles ensuring delivery to timing deadlines, cost and quality. Responsible for providing the lead on major program launches, coordinating the whole program from cradle to grave including engineering changes. Ensure progress is monitored; risks identified and appropriate mitigation against non-delivery is invoked. Create and manage program. Plan gateways, functional milestones and deliverables, managing constraints to ensure delivery to program timing and budget with maximum effectiveness to achieve good customer relationships that will ultimately maximize long term profit. Work on multiple major projects requiring innovative solutions at the cutting edge of the technical field providing expertise. Decisions and results have a prolonged impact on the direction of the project and its success. Contribute to the creation and implementation of best practice program management vision, strategy, policies, processes, and procedures to aid and improve operational performance Create the project identification and planning documentation for the various work streams Receive proposed work scope and deliverables and prepare consequent proposals for timing plan and budget (external spend and hours) Agree the tasks required to complete each deliverable and what material will be produced to support each deliverable Challenge and balance inputs to create optimized proposal for project plan and budge Communicate initiation of the project and kick-off all required project activities in project team Control and communicate status of deliverables and related tasks, project timings versus plan, project expenditure (external spend and hours) versus budget, and balance resources within the overall project limits where possible Review any requests for change to project scope and determine, with support from the project team, the consequent changes to project Establish the project team members. Communicate project work scope and deliverables to project Manage, coach and develop a high performing cost estimating team that meets agreed objectives and which delivers best practice results, added value and continuous improvements Set department objectives/KPIs and review and assess ongoing performance of direct reports Report on achievement of targets and identify any actions required Experience 5 to 7 Years Industry Preferred Automotive/Management Consulting/Services Industry Agile engineering practices Qualifications B.Tech/BE (Mechanical/Automobile), MBA will be advantage General Requirements
