gather the production specs and coordinate all suppliers to deliver our turbines within
the expected timeframe and within budget. You organize the production process from
start to finish including supplier-side quality control. You ensure we deliver our turbine
with complete and correct manuals and documentation. Once produced, we need to
ship and install. You will play a key role in these stages as well so we can build a full-process quality manual for operations in the coming year. (60%)
