Interim project engineering and project management

Operational excellence / Industrialisation

I am Sylvester, a senior project engineer and project manager with more than 20 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing and operations environments. I combine technical depth, data-driven analysis and project discipline and work best where structure needs to be built, execution needs to move forward and improvements need to last.

Services

Project engineering and industrialisation

From concept to a controlled and transferable production process. I help define process parameters, build work instructions, set up industrialisation roadmaps and ensure a structured transfer to operations.

Project management and improvement programmes

Bringing structure, alignment and momentum to projects and change initiatives. Clear priorities, active stakeholder engagement and a consistent focus on delivery and follow-through.

Lean and process improvement

Reducing waste, improving flow and helping teams build continuous improvement into daily operations through practical lean methods and structured problem solving.

Supply chain and quality improvement

Improving delivery reliability, process stability and quality performance across operations and the wider supply chain.

Data-driven improvement and analysis

Using data to identify bottlenecks, support decision making and measure the impact of improvements across operations and supply chain.

Experience

More than 20 years of experience in production, industrialisation, quality, supply chain and data-driven improvement. I have worked across high-tech, manufacturing, medical and international operations environments, in both project and line roles.

My assignments have included setting up production processes from scratch, leading cross-functional improvement programmes, stabilising supply chains under pressure and managing industrialisation projects in regulated environments. I am comfortable working at both operational and management level, translating data and analysis into clear priorities and practical decisions.

How I work

1. Quickly understand the context, objectives and key bottlenecks.
2. Bring structure to the approach, roles and priorities.
3. Drive execution with clear ownership, visible progress and a focus on practical results.
4. Help embed improvements so they remain effective after the project phase.
