Independent Project Manager

Looking for someone to execute your project successfully and on time?
Stop looking, you have arrived!

To introduce myself, my name is Martin, a self-employed, Independent Project Manager with expertise in the automation branch and I founded SWAT-Projects to offer my experience in Project execution to everyone interested such as but not limited to:

  • Potential and upcoming owners in the process to install an automated system
  • Owners of automated systems looking for improvements
  • well-established or upcoming suppliers

This webpage shall give you an overview of my capabilities and Services, for detailed information and requests I kindly ask you to contact me directly via phone or e-mail.

My Services
are not limited
to a geographic location

My capabilities form a wide range not only within project execution but also supportive tasks.

To give an impression and idea of possible work packages, key elements are listed further down. As a project is by definition unique, the below should be seen as an appetizer. Further clarification will be always needed to create a package which suits best to your needs.

Project Management in a variety of different roles adapted to your requirement

Supervision of a trade within Project Execution/ 3rd Party Supplier

Creation of a system layout tailored to your requirements

Optimization or expansion of your existing automated system or warehouse

Creation of a catalog of requirements/tender for the procurement of automated technology

Mechanical Engineering of an automated warehouse system, including parts lists and drawings

My occupational roots are closely interweaved with the intralogistics branch, as I spent most of my professional time until now in this area. However I am available and willing to work in every branch which is dealing with automation. Furthermore my Services are not limited to a geographic location, but can be anywhere around the globe.

Explanation of SWAT:

SWAT-Projects as the company name was chosen with a deeper reason in mind as it represents important key values I stand for and which I live in professional environment. Last but not out of pure coincidence it also reminds of the special tactical forces of the US police which are valued as a strong, highly trained unit perfectly suited for the task and eager to solve the case in a concentrated and successful manner.

  • Projects have a living character and high complexity. As of this it is important to focus on Solution orientation as difficulties, build requirements, stake holder decisions or market changes (to name a few) are inevitable and require attention as well as appropriate actions. Thus I am of the strong opinion that Solution Orientation needs to be a key objective within project execution. By combining this with the below, I trust to deliver valuable contribution to your project:

    • 12 years of experience
    • Over 150 projects executed
    • Master Degree in Automation Technology and Business
    • Wide range of competence within Intralogistics such as, but not limited to
      • Bin, Hanging and Pallet Conveying systems
      • Sortation and Storage Systems
      • Robotics
  • Next in line comes the W which I assign to well planned. My career begun as a mechanical engineer, which gave me in depth knowledge and valued background:

    • Years of experience in designing intralogistics systems ranging from small, medium to large projects but also in a variety of „open heart surgeries“ in live environments, green fields using a newly erected warehouse or brown sites working around established productions.
    • Ability to create and improve Intralogistics Layouts on a variety of different systems: ACAD, Solid Edge, Solid Works, Navisworks.
    • Big Picture Mentality, it’s not only about the conveyor, but the people working with it, the services around it and the timescale allowing the level of integration that’s needed.
    • Experience with a variety of different systems used in Intralogistics, allowing to think of all needs and requirement for an end to end integration into the overall warehouse system.
    • State of the Art know how and extensive expertise on hanging conveyors and it is realization.
  • I love to climb, which taught me two things: be agile and accurate. Attributes not only of good use for climbing but also when it comes to project execution. Agility is key to be able to execute projects successfully, specifically when considering today’s ever changing requirements and demands or fighting upcoming crisis such as the current global material shortage. However, Agility on its own without being met by Accuracy doesn’t add up and ends in pure actionism – doing things only for the sake of doing things. To prevent this, both need to be tightened closely together and balanced in a focused manner – key values I consider in every strategy.

  • Time can’t be stopped, won’t come back and is not re-gained, which makes it the most important and valuable resource in our life. As of this, it is absolutely inevitable to deal with it respectful and in a wise manner, as no project is complete without a schedule.

    Within SWAT-Projects the factor time will always be considered carefully to contribute its significance, ensuring all milestones are achieved on the dot.
