259 - CEO interimar Greenfield Expansion România

Despre clientul nostru:

Our client is a privately owned European SME delivering specialised engineering and industrial project services across international markets. The company has evolved from a niche design and retrofit provider into a full-scope technical solutions partner, combining engineering, fabrication, and on-site execution for complex industrial assets in sectors such as energy, infrastructure, and maritime technology.

With fewer than 100 employees and a strong track record of organic growth, the business is now entering a critical phase — building its own greenfield production and assembly facility in Romania and transitioning from outsourced fabrication to fully integrated operations. To ensure this transformation is structured, profitable, and sustainable, the shareholders are seeking an experienced interim executive with a hands-on approach, practical mindset, and proven ability to deliver results in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments.
