What you'll do
- Turn project briefs into clear action lists, timelines, owners and follow-ups, then keep work moving until tasks are complete.
- Take ownership of defined work packages across production readiness, automation, site operations and process improvement, with guidance from experienced project owners.
- Coordinate day-to-day actions across engineering, production, procurement, facilities and external suppliers.
- Follow up on quotes, deliveries, meetings and decisions so that practical dependencies do not get missed.
- Spend time with teams on site, identify blockers and help find the right person or next action to resolve them.
- Maintain simple, accurate project trackers, meeting notes, decision logs and status updates.
- Prepare concise progress updates and raise delays, risks or unclear ownership early.
- Learn the business and progressively take on larger projects as your judgement and experience grow.
What we're looking for
- 0–3 years of experience in project coordination, operations, engineering, procurement or a related area; internships, working-student roles, student projects and relevant personal projects all count.
- A strong bias toward action: you take the next useful step, follow through on details and do not wait to be chased.
- Curiosity and motivation to learn how a manufacturing business works, including the willingness to ask questions and take feedback.
- Good organization and clear communication; you can keep several small tasks moving and make sure owners know what is needed from them.
- A practical, resilient approach when plans change or the first attempt does not work.
- Comfortable working on site and collaborating with colleagues across technical and operational teams.
- A degree, vocational qualification or equivalent practical experience in engineering, business, operations or a related area.
- Fluent German. English is an advantage.
Nice to have
- Examples of taking initiative and completing a project, event, improvement or challenging task.
- Exposure to manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics or another hands-on environment.
- Familiarity with task trackers or project tools such as Excel, Jira, Asana, MS Project or similar.
- Experience coordinating suppliers, quotes, meetings or deliveries.
- Interest in learning project-management and operational improvement methods.
Benefits
- Top-decile compensation packages, bonuses and meaningful equity.
- Every employee is awarded stock options in the company.
- Comprehensive relocation support including flights, shipping and visas.
