At Xemex, we believe in sustainability, quality, innovation, collaboration, open dialogue, personality … Everyone knows everyone. And, oh yes, we like to work hard, but we also like to have a laugh. Fun is part of it!
Does this dynamic sector seem rather unfamiliar to you? No problem! As long as you have a healthy interest and experience with projects in an embedded software environment, we would like to hear from you.
Your contribution
As a project manager or project leader, you are the man or woman who maintains the overview of our projects. Our projects are mainly in the area of high electronics (hardware and software) in the many facets of energy transition (such as monitoring and managing solar panels, charging stations, heat pumps and combinations thereof (EMS)). To help realise the growth of Xemex, you will work with our multidisciplinary team to bring our projects to a successful conclusion.
Your tasks are as follows:
- Preparing project plans with clear objectives and actions.
- Planning, coordinating and monitoring projects.
- Coaching and monitoring of the project members: distributing tasks, delegating, monitoring the execution, respecting deadlines, monitoring budgets, making adjustments, motivating, ..
- Being the central point of contact, both internally for colleagues as well as externally for customers and suppliers.
- Being an expert in your field, namely coordinating projects for product development within EMS (energy management solutions) and embedded software. Knowing where the pain points are so that you can minimise the risks and problems.
Your personality and strengths
- You preferably have a technical master’s education or equivalent through experience. You have complemented this with solid experience in project management.

- You realise that you are the one driving your career and your personal development. You can make suggestions about what you need for that.
- You have a good knowledge of English. Knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
Are you looking for a position that is strongly delineated, for one with a gigantic company, or do you prefer not to go along with changes? That is OK of course, but then Xemex is not the right place for you.
Our offer
- You will have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of an organisation in a dynamic sector. You will be part of an ambitious company which has a personal character, where there is room for personal growth and development.
