Project Manager

Due to continued growth in Electrical Distribution Services, we are seeking a Project Manager to lead multi medium-scale MV/LV projects, including retrofits, modernizations, and critical maintenance jobs. The role requires full ownership of assigned projects from customer handover to invoicing and payment collection with a clear focus on margin protection, digital execution, and customer satisfaction. This position supports Schneider Electric s digital transformation by utilizing tools such as mySchneider, Salesforce, and EcoStruxure Service Plans to streamline sales-to-execution transitions, contract creation, and progress tracking across the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Project Execution & Governance: Lead the full life cycle of MV/LV electrical projects: scope validation, procurement, site works, commissioning, and handover
• Use digital platforms for project creation, documentation, contract validation, and invoicing (e.g., mySchneider, Salesforce, ERP)
• Conduct project kick-off meetings (internal and external), aligning stakeholders on scope, risks, and delivery plans
• Financial & Commercial Management: Track and manage project financials (budget, revenue forecasts, gross margin)
• Ensure timely invoicing and proactive cash collection using digitally structured contracts and automated billing triggers
• Prepare and present margin analysis and evolution during project review meetings
• Planning & Coordination: Leverage the digital tools to coordinate with Field Services, Engineering, and Supply Chain to ensure material readiness and execution sequencing
• Plan manpower and tools in collaboration with FSR managers, ensuring alignment with HSE and quality plans
• Ensure internal orders, subcontracts, and logistics align with contractual requirements
• Digital Workflow Integration: Validate and monitor project and contract creation via Salesforce and digital sales portals, ensuring structured handover from Tendering
• Collaborate with tendering and sales teams to review digital contract inputs and confirm execution feasibility
• Update key milestones, payment terms, and progress in real-time via Schneider digital tools to maintain transparency and performance visibility
• Risk, HSE, and Quality Control: Develop and manage project-specific HSE plans (PPE compliance, risk assessments, training, etc.)
• Identify risks early and implement mitigations; escalate when necessary to avoid schedule or financial impact
• Ensure compliance with Schneider Electric quality standards and regulatory requirements
• Customer Engagement & Feedback: Act as the primary customer interface during project execution
• Communicate proactively on progress, changes, and risks
• Capture and record customer feedback via satisfaction surveys at project close-out
• Close-out & Continuous Improvement: Organize and lead internal 'end-of-project' debriefs to document lessons learned and improvement actions
• Contribute to knowledge sharing, delivery tool improvements, and feedback into the offer development process
