I take over difficult investment projects and bring them to completion — on time, on budget, with a team that works together. As an external Project Manager, on call, when a project has stalled or needs structure.
Interim project management means hiring an experienced project manager for a specific task and a defined period — no permanent hire, no recruitment cost, no onboarding time. I join the company, take over the project and am accountable for bringing it to closure.
It works particularly well in manufacturing, where investment projects — modernisations, new lines, automation — need firm management, but the company does not need or want to build a permanent PM position. You pay for a result in a defined time, not for a headcount.
The schedule has slipped, the budget is growing, the team is pointing fingers. Someone from outside is needed to sort it out and bring it to closure.
Projects are being run, but everyone does it their own way. Nobody knows who is responsible for what or what the real status is. A PMO needs to be built from scratch.
A specific investment has started and the internal team is stretched thin. Someone is needed to take over the project and close it.
One-on-one conversations with the team, mapping the documentation, calls with key suppliers. After this stage I have a real picture of the situation — not the one from the presentation.
A realistic schedule based on data, clear ownership, budget and risk control. Concrete steps, not general declarations.
Day-to-day project management, coordination of contractors, negotiations, solving problems as they come up — before they become expensive.
Acceptance, documentation, knowledge transfer to the internal team. The project is closed in a way that lets the company sustain it without me.
I have led investment projects in international corporations and Polish manufacturing companies — from concept to commissioning. Teams of up to 200 people, coordination of up to 28 contractors at a time. Engineering background (Mechanical Engineering, Rzeszów University of Technology), MBA, IPMA-D and AgilePM certified. Working language: English and Polish.
Based in south-eastern Poland, working across Poland and Europe — on site or remotely, depending on the project phase. Currently Global PM on a project delivered in Belgium, the Czech Republic and Poland.
Let's talk about the situation. No commitment — first I want to understand what you need.
