Technical Project Manager for Industrial 3D Print

Danish Technological Institute in Aarhus is looking for a new collegue who would love to work as a project manager within research and development projects related to 3D printing. We are one of Europe's leading knowledge centres for industrial 3D printing. We are expanding rapidly and have taken on many new projects in which we need your help and knowledge.
3D printing in research and development projects
You will become part of a highly competent group of dedicated 3D print experts. Right from the start, you will be given responsibility for our largest projects that involves collaborating with partners from both industry and universities. The projects are funded by the EU Commission and based on the needs and requests from the industry.

Typical tasks will include:

• Project management and implementation of R&D projects
• Stakeholder management with program manager, specialists, and management
• Implementing knowledge and technology from R&D projects for use in commercial services
• Exploring project opportunities with companies and research organisations

Strong communication skills are crucial in the role since the projects involve several companies from multiple countries. In addition to project management, you will be expected to play an active role in the technological and commercial development of the Institute’s activities in the field of 3D printing.

The projects involve everything associated with 3D printing, including design and process simulation, optimisation of components for 3D printing, data analysis, and quality assurance of 3D printed components, etc.

Technological experience
We expect that you have a master’s degree in engineering or natural science, and at least a few years of experience in project management. Formal training in project management is not a requirement, but it will be an advantage. Whatever your level of experience, we will ensure that you get a thorough introduction to give you a good start.

We are a professional and social group, and we are good at supporting each other in our tasks and job. You will, however, manage your own projects, so it is important that you are responsible, proactive, and can work efficiently and effectively. You should also be prepared to pursue your own ideas and explore new project opportunities.

You will interact with many collaborators, including colleagues, the industry, and universities. They must feel safe leaving you in charge and it is therefore important that you are good at creating relationships and enjoy being in a role with a lot of personal interaction.

You will become part of Danish Technological Institute
Industrial 3D Print is a centre at Danish Technological Institute with 30 highly specialised employees working with the application of 3D printing in industrial settings. We develop and produce advanced products in plastic and metal for drones, fuel cells, satellites, sensors, etc., for a wide range of Danish and international industrial customers. The team’s tasks include a combination of long-term international development projects and short-term commercial tasks. Danish Technological Institute has been working with 3D printing since 1989 and is leading in the field of development and production of 3D metal printing.

We constantly push the boundaries of what can be produced using 3D printing to make it more accessible to Danish businesses. We do this by, for example, participating in R&D projects through which we contribute to break down the industrial barriers that stand in the way of the acceptance of 3D printing technologies. Typical projects are supported by foundations/programmes such as EUDP, Horizon Europe, Innovation Fund Denmark, etc. Our roles in these are typically project management, development, presentation, testing and pilot production.
