  • Oversee shipping and logistics, ensuring on-time, cost-effective delivery while complying with regulations;
  • Act as the primary client contact, providing updates, addressing concerns, and ensuring smooth delivery and handover;
  • Facilitate transition post-delivery, ensuring all technical and operational information is documented;
  • Liaise with internal teams and external partners to align processes and address challenges;
  • Track project KPIs, report progress to stakeholders, and identify areas for improvement.
