Medior) Expediting Manager

CONTEXT: Could your best career choice be one that propels you toward becoming an intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise? Success in industries often relies on key individuals demonstrating intrapreneurial leadership, i.e. who continuously launch new initiatives and seek for excellence. The best way to develop this strength is through ad interim projects, i.e. work with established intrapreneurs in international companies to support their major expansion or improvement initiatives regarding governance, studies, or operations. AETHER manages these opportunities in key strategic sectors, as these offer greater learning opportunities with multi-million impacts:
- Public Infrastructures
- Process Manufacturing
- Component & System Technologies One challenge for process manufacturing's operations is that failing to rigorously drive expediting and technical procurement workflows on large-scale capacity-increase programs can create cascading delays, budget overruns, and production bottlenecks that jeopardize the viability of the entire industrial upgrade. => We therefore invite you to collaborate with AETHER as a medior Project Expediting Engineer.
