Technical Project Manager
Paebbl · Rotterdam
What you will do
Key Responsibilities
Drive day-to-day planning and execution of technical projects at the RDM site, from scoping through delivery, at a pace that matches our production timelines.
Partner with Engineering, Process and Operations leads on-site to build realistic plans, identify dependencies and de-risk critical paths in real time.
Run PMO-defined operating rhythms at the site level — project reviews, milestone tracking, RAID logs and escalation paths — and flag risks before they become delays.
Chase down blockers directly, in person where needed, and drive them to resolution rather than waiting for someone else to unblock the team.
Prepare project status updates for the PMO and site leadership, with a bias toward blunt, accurate reporting over polished narratives.
Work within PMO tooling, templates and processes, and push for improvements when something is slowing the team down.
Use AI and digital tools to move faster on tracking, reporting and cross-team coordination
What We're Looking For:
5-8 years in technical project management, ideally within engineering-intensive, industrial, hardware, or deep-tech environments where deadlines were non-negotiable.
Strong technical fluency — comfortable engaging directly with engineers and process experts on technical tradeoffs and dependencies, on the plant floor if needed.
A track record of delivering complex, multi-team projects on time, in fast-paced, high-pressure environments
Strong analytical capabilities and comfort building structure from ambiguity, fast.
Working knowledge of project management and productivity tooling (e.g. Notion, Jira, Microsoft Office, AI productivity tools).
Strong tolerance for ambiguity, shifting priorities in a fast-scaling industrial environment.
Nice to Have:
Experience working inside a PMO function at a fast-scaling industrial or hardware company.
Climate tech, industrial technology, or process/manufacturing scale-up experience.
Experience working directly with site and executive leadership under tight production deadlines.
