Commercial Project Manager Plant Technology (m/f/d)

Position to be filled immediately

LOCATION
Dörth, Germany / hybrid

EMPLOYMENT
Full-time / Permanent

FUNCTION
Project Delivery

Once a customer contract is signed, you take end-to-end responsibility for project delivery, working closely with the customer and cross-functional teams across Engineering, Finance and Production.

You combine customer focus with commercial project management and technical coordination. You need to be comfortable in an industrial engineering environment to moderate technical discussions, understand dependencies and risks, coordinate the right specialists and drive decisions.

You will act as the central interface between the customer and PYREG, coordinating our engineering, procurement, production, logistics, site and service resources around successful project delivery.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

End-to-end project delivery 
Take responsibility for the project following contract signature and lead it through engineering, manufacturing, delivery, construction, commissioning, start-up, acceptance and final commercial close-out.

Customer and stakeholder management 
Act as the primary project counterpart for the customer. Establish a professional and trusted working relationship, manage expectations and ensure issues are addressed early and transparently.

Internal project leadership 
Coordinate the internal resources required to deliver the project successfully across engineering, procurement, production, logistics, service and commercial functions. Establish priorities, resolve interfaces and ensure that the organisation delivers against its commitments.

Coordinate with customers, contractors and internal teams during installation and site execution. Drive the project through commissioning, performance testing, acceptance and start-up, ensuring that technical and commercial requirements remain aligned.

Commercial project management 
Understand the contract in detail and translate it into a clear execution framework covering scope, responsibilities, milestones, payment terms, guarantees, contractual deadlines, acceptance criteria and liabilities.

Cost, cash and project performance 
Maintain control over project budget, cost development, forecasts and cash milestones. Ensure invoices are issued on time and actively manage customer payments and project cash flow.

Change and claim management 
Identify deviations from contractual scope, assess their commercial impact and ensure changes are documented and commercially addressed. Negotiate variation orders and justified claims while protecting PYREG against unsupported customer or supplier claims.

Risk and issue management  
Identify project risks early – whether related to engineering, interfaces, schedule, suppliers, construction, acceptance or commercial performance – and drive pragmatic solutions before they become critical.

We are particularly interested in candidates who understand the realities of plant engineering, EPC environments or complex capital projects.


• Several years (min. 3-5) of experience in project management, project execution, commercial project management or contract management within plant engineering, EPC, industrial equipment, infrastructure or a comparable capital-project environment.
• Experience working across several stages of the capital-project lifecycle, ideally including engineering, manufacturing, procurement, site execution, commissioning and project close-out.
• A strong commercial understanding of project contracts, payment milestones, budgets, guarantees, change orders and claim management.
• Sufficient technical understanding to engage credibly with engineers, customers and contractors and to moderate technical discussions without needing to be the technical specialist yourself.
• The ability to manage multiple internal and external stakeholders and drive decisions across organisational boundaries.
• Strong customer-management skills and the judgement to balance customer needs with PYREG's contractual and commercial interests.
• A structured and independent working style, combined with the ability to remain effective when projects become complex or situations change quickly.
• Strong negotiation and communication skills and the confidence to address difficult project issues directly.
• A degree in engineering, industrial engineering, business administration or a comparable discipline – or equivalent professional experience gained in industrial project environments.
• Willingness to travel internationally when required by the project.

Experience with pyrolysis, biochar or carbon removal is welcome, but not required. Relevant experience delivering industrial projects matters more.
