Job Title: Project Manager
Taiwan Project Development Team
Your role: As a Project Manager in the Electronics Engineering Project Development team, you will lead the front-end development of capital projects starting from idea scoping through conceptual design and basic engineering, and project approval for execution. Projects range from production expansion, equipment installation, and greenfield plant construction. Each project requires careful and attentive consideration for business case, project execution model, process scope development, cost and schedule estimating, project planning, hazard reviews, and design through conceptual and basic engineering resulting in +/-10% cost estimate ready for project approval.
To succeed in this role, you will collaborate with global and cross-functional teams to develop the safest project with the most cost-effective plant design. You will need to translate complex issues into practical concepts and will be counted upon to solve unique or sophisticated project development challenges.
Since a major determinant of project success is effective planning and strategy development, you will collaborate with your internal and external parties throughout development, ensuring effective front-end planning. As a project development authority, you will keep advancing your skills through continuous education and on-the-job training, introduce improvements into the company, and propagate standard methodologies and lessons learned.
