What you'll be doing:

As a Project Manager at Certhon, you play a key role in delivering high-tech greenhouses and indoor farms around the world. From the moment a project is sold until final handover, you are responsible for overseeing its successful execution. You develop project plans, monitor progress, and ensure that all activities are completed on time and according to schedule.

You lead multidisciplinary project teams consisting of engineers, installation crews, and logistics staff. In addition, you coordinate closely with subcontractors, site supervisors, and other external partners.

• Monitoring and coordinating project schedules and quality standars;
• Organizing and leading construction and project meetings;
• Preparing and monitoring the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) plan;
• Coordinating transportation and workforce requirements;
• Monitoring the project budget, procurement activities, and payment agreements.

What makes this role exciting? You’ll work alongside talented colleagues on complex and innovative projects around the world. From advanced climate cells to high-tech greenhouses equipped with the latest technologies, no two projects are the same. Since many of our projects are international, you'll also have the opportunity to build a global network and gain experience with different locations and cultures. In short, as a Project Manager at Certhon, you can expect a varied, challenging, and rewarding career.
