Job Description

We are looking for a Construction Project Manager to own construction delivery for Special Projects, from tender through what happens on site to handover.

This role holds both sides of the job: contract, cost, schedule and change, and daily site execution, safety and quality. <br><br>You keep the work in time and in budget, and you are the person contractors, inspectors and end users deal with while it is being built. You run several projects, you resolve technical barriers, and you do not wait to be told that the work is off the drawing or off the plan. You also set the construction standard and make sure scopes are closed out, including to Green Tag where that Tesla handover process applies. <br><br>This role is based in Tilburg, Netherlands. That is a requirement. You are on site, not in a remote office. A high percentage of time in the field is part of the job. Travel to other project sites in EMEA is expected.

About the Company

Tesla

Makes electric cars, robotaxis and grid batteries

Tesla makes electric cars and batteries that store power for homes and utilities, and it develops self-driving software and humanoid robots. In 2023, its Model Y became the first electric vehicle to rank as the world's best-selling car. Buyers order the Model 3 sedan, Model Y SUV, or Cybertruck pickup directly from Tesla instead of through dealers, and they charge on its Supercharger fast-charging network. It also sells Megapack and Powerwall batteries, runs a robotaxi service, and charges drivers a monthly fee for self-driving software that still needs their supervision. Tesla was founded in 2003, with Elon Musk as its lead early investor and a recognized co-founder, and it is based in Austin, Texas.
