Technical Project Manager / Design & Project Engineer 80-100% (m/f/d)

About the job

Do you want to independently lead technical projects and actively participate in the development of solutions? With us, you take responsibility – from order handover to the completed system.

The Company:

Founded in 1957, the FRUTIGER Group is a medium-sized Swiss SME with around 150 employees worldwide and a leading position in innovative niche markets. Our brand MobyDick stands for customised solutions and services in the areas of tyre washing systems, dust binding, and coarse dirt washing systems for construction machinery. Innovations are developed, prototypes built, special orders processed, and machines overhauled at the headquarters in Winterthur. With production sites in the Czech Republic, China, and the USA, as well as an extensive network of group companies and sales offices, we offer our customers worldwide first-class service and support.

Your Role:

In this versatile position, you are part of our engineering team and take on a key role in the planning, design, and implementation of our projects. You report directly to the CTO and work closely with development, production, and sales. Your focus is on technical project management. At the same time, you contribute to the design and construction of our systems.

Your Tasks:

• Lead projects independently: After handover by sales, you take over the customer project and manage the technical execution until the finished system is delivered to the customer.
• Clarify requirements and scope of services: You specify the customer's wishes, define the technical solution, and create a common basis for all parties involved.
• Keep an eye on deadlines, costs, and quality: You plan milestones, distribute work packages, and identify deviations early. If changes occur, you check the impacts and initiate measures.
• Coordinate collaboration: You are the technical contact person for customers, sales, purchasing, production, service, and our international locations.
• Develop technical solutions: You create and edit system layouts, 3D models, and design documents yourself. Larger design tasks are coordinated with colleagues in engineering.
• Ensure implementation: You hand over complete project documents to production and assist with technical questions in manufacturing and assembly.
• Drive improvements: What you learn in your projects flows into the further development of our products, standards, and processes.

Your Profile:

• Technical basic training, e.g. as a draftsman, polymechanic, or draughtsperson with a federal certificate of competence (Eidgenössisches Fähigkeitszeugnis, EFZ)
• Further education as a technician HF in mechanical engineering or construction planning, degree in mechanical engineering or civil engineering, or a comparable qualification
• Experience in the execution or management of technical projects in mechanical, plant, or special machine engineering
• Solid design knowledge and confident handling of 3D CAD, ideally SolidWorks
• Practical understanding of how manufacturing, assembly, and system components interact
• Good German and English skills
• Organisational talent and the ability to make decisions
• Independent, reliable working style – you address open points and persist until a solution is found

If you come from design and have already been responsible for initial projects or subprojects, we also look forward to your application if you want to take the next step into project management.

We Offer:

• Independent project management with technical scope for creativity
• A versatile combination of project management, engineering, and design
• Short decision-making paths in a dynamic, medium-sized environment
• An open, family-like corporate culture with a motivated team
• Worldwide customer projects and individual system solutions related to construction machinery and industrial applications
• Opportunity to actively contribute to the further development of processes and products
• Attractive employment conditions and opportunities for professional and personal development
