The role

Are you passionate about leading transformation and operational efficiency in the contract design and equipment sector? At ACTIU, we are looking for a strategic profile capable of guiding a consolidated technical team towards an agile, automated, and high-performance management model.

What you'll do

In this role, you will assume the responsibility of coordinating, modernizing, and making the Project Technical Office shine. Your main mission will not be the individual design of spaces, but the integral evolution of the department. You will become the key piece to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce commercial response times, and elevate the standards of visual quality and economic viability of every proposal.

You will be at the forefront of a diverse and specialized team. Your main challenge will be to coordinate this structure in a unified way within a hybrid environment, maintaining the cohesion, motivation, and operational excellence of the group.

You will be the engine of methodological change. We are looking for someone with an analytical vision to audit traditional workflows and implement automations, agile methodologies (Lean, Agile), and intelligent templates. Your goal is to transform repetitive tasks into agile and fluid processes.

You will act as a transversal bridge of assertive communication between the technical area, commercial management, and marketing. You will supervise the excellence of deliverables (plans, renders, and mockups), guaranteeing that they reflect the essence of the product, respect financial margins, and comply with the technical specifications of large tenders.

We are looking for a profile with higher education in the technical field (Industrial Design, Architecture, Interior Design, or related) and a career of at least 3 to 5 years leading teams and technical project offices in contract, industrial, or corporate equipment environments.

You will stand out if you master strategic planning (PPM tools such as Jira, Asana, or MS Project), if you are enthusiastic about the continuous improvement of office processes, and if you possess the technical fluency in English (B2 level) necessary to support international delegations and large-scale accounts.

You will lead a highly specialized group of people, with a great affinity for design and interior design, who stand out for their technical quality and their ability to provide creative solutions.

Real impact and autonomy: A space where your optimization and automation ideas are implemented. You will have the necessary trust and maneuvering room to redesign processes and lead the methodological change of the technical office.

Hiring process

If you have the capacity to transform processes and inspire people towards efficiency, we want to meet you.
