Project Manager Automotive Driving Simulators - Amsterdam
This client is the world’s leading designer, manufacturer and integrator of professional open architecture driving simulators for the automotive, motorsport, marine and motorcycle industries. We supply flexible, durable, high performing real-time simulators and their modular components: hardware, software, vehicle models, content, and visual systems. 
 
The company works with over 40 people in the Netherlands and are proud to retain some of the simulation industry’s leading experts. From here, we design and integrate the complete simulator architecture, including all the components, in-house, creating the perfect environment for low-latency simulator system integration.
 
Their customers include race teams, universities, research institutes, automotive and commercial vehicle OEMs, and maritime training centers
 
Due to company growth, we are looking for 3 Project Managers to join their team. 
The Project Manager will be responsible for leading and managing simulator installations and ongoing technical matters for customers in the professional motorsports, R&D, attractions, and training markets. The project manager will be able to focus on achieving deadlines and assure solutions are realized to the highest standard, on time and within budget. 
The project manager will be responsible from the beginning of the project until the post- installation handover and commissioning at the customer’s site. This is not a largely desk- based job; the position involves active project implementation, also abroad. There is a requirement to control and manage a portfolio of multiple projects simultaneously and a duty to report on progress to the operations manager. 
The ideal candidate will be motivated, flexible, and extremely pragmatic. The role will not suit those with a preference for a “9 to 5” job. The candidate must be willing to travel globally and work autonomously as well as in a team. Good communication skills are essential, especially as the project manager is the key interface between the company and our diverse customers.
Responsibilities 

• Manage projects from beginning to end. 
• Define detailed project scope, goals and deliverables based on the commercial information.
• Be an integral part of the project team. 
• Estimate the resources needed to achieve project goals. 
• Effectively communicate project expectations to team members. 
• Plan and schedule project timelines and milestones using different administrative tools. 
• Track project milestones and deliverables plus resources spent.

• Confident with PCs and networks.
