Prosertek is one of the European leading manufacturers in harbour equipment: Berthing Aid Systems, Marine Gangways, Boarding Bridges, Quick Release Hooks, Fender Systems, Port Cranes, etc. My main responsibility is to coordinate the teams and activities to make sure that project objectives are attained on time within budget and within scope. For that, all aspects of projects development need to be overseen: setting deadlines both in our engineering team and with the suppliers, assigning responsibilities, monitoring and summarizing progress of each stage, and preparing reports for upper management about status and potential risks.
