·       Manage daily/weekly progress, update schedules and proactively resolve site logistics or other constraints.

·       Ensure availability and correct handling of door operators, drives, rails, sensors, safety edges, control panels, activation devices and spares.

Technical leadership & after‑sales coordination

·       Provide technical guidance for automatic door systems: installation tolerances, structural supports, electrical and signal cabling, grounding, and integration with access control, fire alarm and BMS.

·       Oversee commissioning, functional testing, safety checks (including entrapment protection and emergency egress), final adjustments and client handovers.

·       Manage technical escalations to product management, manufacturers or external specialists and ensure timely remedial actions.

Cost & contract control

·       Lead site safety briefings related to mechanical and electrical hazards associated with automatic door systems.

Stakeholder management & communication

·       Act as primary liaison with clients, main contractors, architects, M&E contractors, access control integrators and internal teams; keep stakeholders informed of progress, risks and decisions.

·       Attend site coordination meetings and client walkthroughs; represent the company professionally.

·       Update CRM and project management systems with progress notes, milestones, issues and outcomes.

Risk management & problem resolution

·       Identify and mitigate project risks (technical, schedule, resource, commercial). Escalate critical issues promptly.

·       Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical or control system problems in coordination with suppliers and product specialists.

Handover & close‑out

·       Prepare project close‑out documentation: as‑built drawings, wiring diagrams, test reports, commissioning certificates, operation & maintenance manuals and warranty documentation.
