Technical Project Manager Remote Monitoring

Technical Project Manager Remote Monitoring 

About the role 

Do you want to lead technical projects that bring smart remote monitoring technology on board vessels? As Technical Project Manager Remote Monitoring, you make sure our Triton system is installed, connected and delivered successfully. You coordinate the full process from project kick-off to handover, working closely with customers, engineers, suppliers, sales colleagues and project teams. 

In this role, you combine technical understanding with project management. You translate customer needs and vessel requirements into a clear plan, arrange the right information, align stakeholders and keep progress, quality, budget and planning under control. 

You will work with Triton, Damen’s remote monitoring platform. This system collects and analyses operational vessel data, giving shipowners insight into fuel consumption, emissions, utilization and performance. Your work directly helps customers operate their fleets in a smarter, more sustainable and more profitable way. 

Damen Digital Solutions is a growing team of around 30 professionals within the Damen Group. We focus on on-board automation, remote monitoring and simulations, all contributing to the future of digital and increasingly autonomous vessel operations. 

What you will do 

You take ownership of technical projects for the installation and delivery of Triton on board vessels. You prepare and manage project plans, align requirements with customers and internal teams, arrange technical input, monitor progress and make sure the system can be installed safely and efficiently. 

Your projects are varied. One moment you are discussing vessel data, network interfaces or installation requirements with engineering. The next, you are aligning planning, scope, budget or contract changes with customers, suppliers and commercial colleagues. You are the person who brings structure, keeps stakeholders informed and turns technical complexity into a workable project approach. 

Your main responsibilities 

• Manage technical projects from acceptance to delivery. 

• Create, update and monitor project plans with new build project managers, contractors and other stakeholders. 

• Define and optimize project scope, deliverables, budgets and planning together with customers and commercial colleagues. 

• Coordinate the information, components and resources needed for successful system installation. 

• Stay in close contact with suppliers, customers, engineering, sales and project teams. 

• Identify risks, bottlenecks and improvement opportunities, and take action where needed. 

• Prepare project evaluations and report on technical, financial and process performance. 

• Draft and manage contract variations when scope, planning or deliverables change. 

What you bring 

• A bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as Electrical Engineering, Automation, Maritime Technology, Marine Engineering, Mechatronics or Systems Engineering. Experience with ship systems, industrial automation or technical project delivery is a strong advantage, not a must. 

• Build strong relationships accross disciplines, create alignment and trust 

• 3 to 5 years of experience in managing technical projects. 

• Strong planning and organizing skills, with the ability to keep complex projects moving. 

• A practical, collaborative mindset and the curiosity to learn new technical topics. 

• Excellent communication skills in Dutch and English with confidence and empathy able to translate complex matters into clear decisions. You need to be able to influence without authority
