TO/SZ Prototype Workshop Responsible

PRIMARY FUNCION

• Responsible of the Prototype Build Up Workshop in Turin
• Responsible of the Prototype Build Up Workshop in Suzzara
• Responsible of the Machining in Turin

ESSENTIAL RESPONSABILITIES

The Prototype Construction Workshop Manager is a key figure who acts as a link between the technical department (ENG) and vehicle and bench testing (TVO / TBO). Their main objective is to produce working prototypes, ensuring that quality, deadlines and costs are met.

The main responsibilities and duties include:

• Management and Coordination of the Turin and Suzzara Teams: Organizing and coordinating workshop staff, assigning tasks, monitoring work progress and resolving internal conflicts
• Prototype Production Planning: Managing the scheduling of workshop activities, defining production priorities to meet deadlines in collaboration with the Prototype Managers.
• Prototype Construction: Overseeing the physical construction of prototypes (chassis, cab, electrics, etc.), ensuring compliance with CAD drawings, assembly diagrams and functional specifications.
• Quality Control: Ensuring that prototypes meet the required structural, functional and quality requirements through checks prior to delivery to the customer (TVO / TBO) and providing appropriate documentation.
• Safety and Training: Ensure operator safety by ensuring they are trained on risks and that procedures comply with regulations.
• Engineering Change Management: Manage changes made to prototypes during production in collaboration with the engineering team and Prototype Managers, using the appropriate company tools (DIM).
• Process Optimization: Identify the best technological and production solutions for prototype manufacturing, optimizing the use of equipment and minimizing waste.
• Management of Material and Technical Resources: Optimize the use of machinery, equipment maintenance (including the Machining department) and the management of raw materials required for construction.

REQUIREMENTS

Technical Requirements:

• Knowledge of production processes: detailed knowledge of manufacturing technologies: CNC milling and turning, precision manual machining, welding, assembly, and often additive technologies (3D printing).
• Reading technical drawings: Ability to interpret complex 2D drawings and 3D models, with particular attention to dimensional and geometric tolerances.
• Knowledge of materials: Ability to select and work with different materials (metals, special alloys, engineering plastics).

Professional Experience:

• Previous experience: significant work experience (typically at least 3–5 years) is required as a skilled operator or senior technician in precision engineering workshops, R&D departments or prototyping units.
• Workshop experience: Practical knowledge of maintenance, set-up and fine-tuning of machinery.

Management and Organizational Skills:

• Planning and scheduling: Workflow management, prioritization and adherence to deadlines (short lead times typical of prototyping).
• Resource coordination: Ability to manage and lead workshop staff.
• Supplier management: coordinating with external suppliers for specialist machining or other operations
