• Project Manager, Sourcing

  • Dec 2014 - Dec 2015

  I joined the Sourcing department as one of the first employees in the newly established joint venture company which MHI Vestas Offshore was at this time. The first projects I managed were therefore focused on very strategic sourcing and supply chain decisions primarily in UK where the company had won is first major commercial order. As project manager I was responsible for a major manufacturing expansion project in UK incl. the early “make-buy” analysis, ongoing commercial negotiations with strategic suppliers, status reporting to C-level steerco and our CEO. Overall achievement - inhouse expansion of new storage, logistic and paint facility site. Another important part of the job was the UK supply chain plan/sourcing strategy.

One of the very specific outcomes was an asian wind turbine tower supplier that ended up establishing offshore tower production in UK. Show less
