Main Responsibilities

As a Technical Systems Leader, you have a central role in the management of assigned technical systems. You are a key player in the long-term planning of the systems' lifecycle.

The tasks require technical understanding, good administrative skills, and the ability to oversee the entire lifecycle of the systems. You should have a good ability to summarize and draw conclusions from complex contexts.

To fit and thrive in the position, you also need to have drive, commitment, and the ability to work even with inadequate decision-making bases. You should be able to listen and process information and have a good ability to create and maintain good relationships.
