(Expert) Cost savings Tranformation Program Manager - energy infrastructures

Join AETHER to support Intrapreneurial Projects as a Program Management Consultant:

You know better than anyone: if strategic transformation programs lack clarity, alignment, or cost control, even the best technical projects can spiral out of control. If you're a trilingual Program Manager used to navigating complexity, you’ve already seen how these gaps can silently kill impact.

Success of Engineering Projects mostly relies on key individuals demonstrating Intrapreneurial Leadership, and the best way to develop these skills is through hands-on consulting roles—working alongside established intrapreneurs in international companies, contributing to managing stakeholders' engagement, workflows' reliability, or solutions' sustainability.

The scope, here, is leading and structuring a portfolio of strategic transformation initiatives within infrastructure and controlling, in a large-scale capital-intensive environment.

The key responsibilities expected from our consultant might include:

Support projects through high-quality and detail-oriented execution

• Define and implement a realistic transformation roadmap
• Collaborate with the IT division to integrate digital initiatives
• Refine the methodologies for estimating project costs, adapt pricing frameworks, use index-based contracts, and bolster market intelligence

Support projects with rational and data-driven assessments of costs, quality, and timelines

• Monitor performance (e.g., apply the four-eyes principle) and identify potential cost-saving opportunities
• Increase clarity on cost evolution throughout project lifecycles

Support projects by facilitating communication and reporting between stakeholders

• Engage with senior management and manage stakeholder interactions to align program results with objectives
• Manage a portfolio of transversal projects with project managers, stream leaders, and other stakeholders
• Prepare and lead strategic committees (or equivalent)
• Lead project teams to achieve objectives as planned
• Ensure change management aspects, including storytelling, communication plans, and impact analysis
• Provide effective communication and reporting (risk management, status reports) to keep stakeholders informed

The experience we are actively looking for:

• At least 10 years of relevant experience in project or program management
• Academic background in industrial, commercial, or civil engineering—or equivalent hands-on experience
• Proven exposure to controlling and large energy infrastructure project environments (oil, gas, electricity...)
• Ability to interact with and influence diverse internal and external stakeholders
• High adaptability to digital transformation and IT interfaces
• Professional fluency in Dutch, French, and English is required
• Valid work and residence permits for Belgium (mandatory for non-EU candidates)
• Immediate availability and presence in Belgium are preferred

Your best career choice will be one that propels you toward becoming a future intrapreneur or entrepreneur in your field of expertise.

Check with AETHER if more impactful opportunities are relevant for you. For the sake of business reactivity, priority is being given to candidates who are already living in Belgium and are available rapidly.
