Your Role

As a Project Manager, you will lead our customer delivery projects from contract signing through to successful project closing. You will support dedicated sales cases and contribute to the project’s successful start.

During the project execution phase, you will take overall responsibility for the project — covering the design and delivery of the complete passenger information system, including software together with interfaces, and serial production readiness — ensuring that quality, scope, schedule, customer satisfaction, contractual and financial objectives are achieved. Managing customer relationship is also a vital part of the project manager’s role in dedicated projects.

You will serve as the primary point of contact for both customers and internal teams, fostering clear communication, alignment, and collaboration across all stakeholders. In this role, you’ll also proactively manage risks, changes, and opportunities to ensure smooth project execution and customer satisfaction.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Lead projects following the Teleste Project Management Process, including hosting gate reviews and managing follow-up actions
• Plan, execute, and monitor project activities to ensure delivery on time, within scope, and within budget
• Contract management of the project
• Manage risks and changes proactively — identifying, mitigating, and resolving issues
• Coordinate internal teams (e.g. hardware, software, testing, sourcing, documentation, finance, logistics, production) to ensure seamless collaboration
• Conduct weekly customer meetings to report progress, handle change requests, and align on schedules
• Maintain daily communication with customers and internal stakeholders to ensure timely execution of action items
• Oversee financial planning and control, including cost tracking, forecasting, and reporting together with business control and other team members
• Ensuring customer on time invoicing and payments according to the contractual milestones.
• Ensure quality and completeness of project documentation together with organization
• Manage subcontractors, including contracts, deliverables, and performance
