Working at TRESU Group Project Manager Jesper has worked for TRESU Group since 2013 first as a Design Engineer, and now he holds a position as Project Manager. I have a background as production technologist specialised in innovation and design. After I completed my education in 2007 I worked for several years as design engineer and project manager, and for a while I was also self-employed. In 2013 I started my career at TRESU Group where I am now working with project management of high-end, state-of-the-art flexo printing machines in close co-operation with national and international customers in e.g. Germany, USA and Slovakia. Our customer portfolio ranges from mid-sized to multi-national companies. After the order is closed, I take over the project directly from the sales department. During the project it is important to have good relations and a close co-operation with the customer to comply with their wishes and requirements for their new machine and to offer a high service level during the entire project phase. My job comprises many tasks such as internal project management, preparation of time and resource plans, management responsibility for the project participants, financial follow-up, procurement, installation follow-up, preparation of documentation, machine commissioning, research and design of technical solutions, and preparation of machine layout and machine drawings in SolidWorks. My role as Project Manager is extremely challenging and varied because I cover so many areas starting with customer contact, time schedules, generation of ideas and new development of technical solutions to management, finance, installation of the machine and service follow-up. You become the glue that keeps the projects together from the sale to the production-ready machine. In this way you get in close contact with the customers and suppliers but also to all departments of TRESU such as Sales, Logistics, Shipping and Service. One day you are attending a meeting with a customer and are discussing everything from ground-breaking technical solutions to prices while the next day you have to consider how the machine has to be built in order to be shipped and serviced after the installation. “I’M HAVING SOME EXCITING AND INSPIRATIONAL TASKS IN MY JOB AT TRESU” JESPER ELLEBÆK, 32 YEARS PROJECT MANAGER, TRESU GROUP As a benefit of all these tasks I have now obtained full and clear knowledge of the financial frame work, follow-up, detail planning of resources and a general view of a project which will contribute to TRESU being recognised as a professional provider of high-quality and creative solutions delivering at the right time and at the right price.
