• Part of a customer project execution/application center.
• Project technical teams are located spread among one or several sites/countries in East Asia, requiring international collaboration with other functional teams/stakeholders.

• Lead & approve the basic and detailed design of all technical aspects of an integrated solution, in line with customer and contract requirements (technical performance).
• Make sure the project technical team delivers according to the project planning.
• Monitor technical costs, and make sure the budget for the technical part is under control.
• Coordinate all technical implementation activities done at factories or supplier premises and testing facilities until project closure.

• Work in close collaboration with PM & other technical designers and engineers who take care of part of the technical scope.
• Identify whether specific expertise support is needed and coordinate the expertise actions if any.
• Lead and coordinate all technical aspects of the sub-contracted parts of the project, in strong coordination with the procurement team.
• Act as a single point of contact for all project stakeholders regarding the technical content of the project; and ensure technical coordination among the project team.

• Perform, review some design and specification activities, by leveraging Schneider Electric portfolio of products & systems in an optimized manner, in order to maximize profitability and limit technical risks;
  May perform some implementation/test activities (testing, FAT, etc).

• Identify any potential changes versus the contract or already agreed design.
• Work closely with PM to specify the changes and their implications for Schneider Electric (including cost impact evaluation), until getting a variation order.
• Alert PM of any substantial issue that could affect the project performance or customer satisfaction.

• Lead technical discussions and clarifications with customers.
• Act as the key and trustworthy contact person for all technical topics related to the project.
