GE Grid Solutions, a global leader in the Renewable Energy sector, faced an urgent need for a senior project manager to oversee the completion of a turn-key power project. With time constraints preventing a traditional recruitment process, an interim solution was the most effective option.

Situation

“We took a quick look at our options. An interim solution would fit perfectly with our need for a competent, experienced candidate who could be onboarded within days. All it took was a quick online browsing, and Nextt Management came up as an interesting company to work with,” says Ole Kaarup Nielsen, Commercial Director, Power Transmission North Europe.

Challenges

• Urgent need for a senior project manager with technical and leadership expertise
• Managing internal staff and multiple external cooperation partners
• Ensuring project completion within strict time constraints
• Finding a candidate who could make an immediate impact

Action

Nextt Management quickly initiated an introductory consultation, confirming their suitability as the right partner. Despite the highly technical and specialized nature of GE Grid Solutions’ business, Nextt Management rapidly grasped the company’s needs and industry challenges.

One of Nextt Management’s key strengths is their ability to listen and understand the specific requirements of their clients. “I have previously worked with other recruiters, and I often question whether they truly understand us and what we need,” says Ole Kaarup Nielsen.

Within a short timeframe, Nextt Management presented a selection of highly qualified candidates. One candidate stood out—bringing not only impressive credentials and relevant industry experience but also the right personality to make a significant impact.

“Our new interim senior project manager performed from the very first day. He took on his responsibility and delivered in the job. One thing is when the professional qualifications fit. Another thing is when the candidate also personally makes a great difference. Besides managing a team internally, he also has numerous external co-op partners with whom he must ensure an outstanding working relationship and clear communication channels,” adds Ole Kaarup Nielsen.

Results

The interim senior project manager successfully led the completion of the turn-key power project while ensuring strong collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. His expertise and leadership were so valuable that the contract was extended, eventually leading to a fixed position within the company.

Thanks to Nextt Management’s extensive network and quick response time, GE Grid Solutions secured the right interim professional in record time, ensuring project continuity and success.
