Job Description & Summary:
This is not a typical PMO role. You'll be embedded with the R&D leadership of a fast-moving wind turbine manufacturer that is building its engineering function from the ground up — defining how projects get tracked, how decisions get made, and how a growing team of engineers stays aligned on priorities. The R&D head is technically strong but operationally stretched, and you'll be the person who takes the overhead off their plate: standing up process where there is none, bringing structure without bureaucracy, and making sure the right things get done in the right order. If you've worked inside a wind OEM during a period of rapid growth — or in any industrial R&D environment where the org was ahead of its processes — this will feel familiar.
