## About

```text
At Kirchoff Automotive, I’ve led projects from customer requirements and planning through equipment procurement, implementation, validation, ramp-up and handover to autonomous production. I’ve delivered 30+ projects from design through industrialisation, working with customers across Europe and multidisciplinary teams across manufacturing sites.

I’ve managed projects with CAPEX exceeding €7M, achieving up to 50% savings by challenging investment requirements, analysing future capacity and identifying opportunities to reuse equipment and optimise layouts. I’ve also supported annual process cost-reduction targets of €500k+ while maintaining required capacity and operational performance.

Earlier, as a Project Engineer, I supported launch coordination and managed engineering changes, delivering commercially viable solutions with additional sales up to 2M€. I’m now looking to apply this experience in a broader technology, energy, infrastructure or transformation-focused environment, with greater exposure to international programmes and strategic decision-making.
