We are looking for an experienced Delivery Manager to join the new Controls Solution and enable the effective delivery of complex turbine control initiatives within our operating model.
As a Delivery Manager, you will connect project and portfolio commitments with execution across Solutions, Agile Release Trains and the wider value chain.
You will be responsible for project governance, financial and commercial coordination, milestone and gate readiness, risk transparency, stakeholder alignment, and the integration of project scope into the Agile planning cadence.
You will work closely with Solution and ART leadership, Project Owners, Product Owners, technical leaders, Finance, Quality, Sourcing, Manufacturing, suppliers, and other business stakeholders to ensure that commitments are realistic, transparent, and supported by objective evidence.
Responsibilities
Manage and deliver assigned projects within agreed scope, cost, schedule, quality, risk, and benefit tolerances, while serving as the primary project-level integration point across solutions, ARTs, and stakeholders
Translate project objectives into Agile execution, converting milestones, requirements, and external commitments into planning inputs, while ensuring visibility and readiness ahead of PI Planning
Align project delivery with the shared PI cadence, coordinating timelines, dependencies, constraints, and trade-offs across Solutions, ARTs, and supporting functions
Maintain project governance and lifecycle management, including project initiation, tailoring, authorization, change control, stage boundaries, milestones, gates, reviews, and compliance with Vestas governance processes
Coordinate decision-making and readiness reviews, ensuring Project Management Reviews and gate forums receive complete, timely, and evidence-based inputs
Provide integrated project control and reporting, consolidating delivery evidence from ARTs, maintaining the project risk, issue, action, and decision landscape, and escalating deviations outside agreed tolerances
Manage project financials, forecasting, and change requests, ensuring scope, cost, and schedule changes are reflected consistently across project controls, governance artifacts, budgets, forecasts, and project plans
Qualifications
Bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, business, project management or a related area, or equivalent professional experience
At least 5 years of experience in project, program or delivery management in a complex engineering or product-development environment
Demonstrated experience managing scope, schedules, budgets, risks, dependencies and stakeholder expectations.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate across technical teams, business functions, suppliers and geographically distributed stakeholders
Ability to translate high-level commitments into structured plans and planning inputs without micromanaging delivery teams
Practical understanding of Agile, Lean and flow-based delivery in a scaled engineering environment
Experience with Jira, planning tools, project financial systems, risk-management tools
Experience with embedded software, control systems, wind energy or another safety-critical engineering domain is valuable
Fluency in English (written and spoken)
Competencies
