** BERNER pushing the limits – for those who dare more
** Making a choice about your career and your employer is a choice about your future - a future where you will invest your passion and a large portion of your time, energy, and capacity.  Are you ready to take responsibility for a strategically important logistics transformation program - from planning through to successful implementation?

For one of our Powerhouses we plan to re-design the complete Warehouse Set-Up incl. a new WMS, you will take over the full project responsibility for the transformation on all relevant sites.

The aim of this multi-year transformation program is to develop our existing logistics sites into a future-proof Solution. The program combines warehouse retrofitting, intralogistics, automation and the implementation of a new Warehouse Management System – all while maintaining ongoing operations.
** YOUR TASKS
*** You will take end-to-end responsibility for managing the multi-year warehouse retrofit, intralogistics and WMS transformation program across our logistics sites.
* You will lead several cross-functional work streams and coordinate internal and external project partners from Operations, IT, Intralogistics, Construction, Finance, Purchasing and other departments.
* You will be responsible for managing project timelines, budgets, quality, risks, dependencies and business continuity.
* You will oversee the implementation and integration of the new WMS, including process design, testing, migration, cutover and ramp-up.
* You will coordinate retrofit, automation and construction activities, ranging from conveyor technology and shuttle systems to high-bay warehouses, pick & pack operations and expansions.
* You will ensure that construction and transformation activities are carried out during ongoing operations with minimal impact on delivery capability and service levels.
* You will manage external planners, suppliers, IT and intralogistics partners, as well as relevant approval processes.
* You will prepare and facilitate Steering Committees and Management Reviews and develop decision-making documents for Senior Management and the Executive Board.
** YOUR PROFILE
*** You have several years of experience as an Overall Project Manager, Program Manager or Senior Project Lead in complex warehouse, logistics or intralogistics projects.
* You have a proven track record of successfully implementing retrofit, brownfield or comparable transformation projects during ongoing warehouse operations.
* You have extensive experience in WMS implementations or migrations, including testing, cutover and ramp-up.
* You are familiar with automated conveyor technology, shuttle and goods-to-person systems, high-bay warehouses, pick & pack operations and material flow processes.
* You have experience in managing large-scale investment projects and complex, cross-functional project structures.
* You demonstrate strong stakeholder management skills and communicate confidently at all levels, from the shop floor to Executive Management and the Executive Board.
* You have a structured, solution-oriented and assertive approach and maintain an overall perspective, even in highly complex project environments.
* Very good German and English language skills, along with a strong willingness to work on-site, particularly in Künzelsau and Ingelfingen, complete your profile.
