Project Engineer

This role is for candidates with a Mechanical Engineering background — not for Software/IT professionals.

Ledvore is hiring an experienced Project Engineer to be the dedicated point of contact for one of our international automotive clients, based full-time out of our Coimbatore office. This is a senior, client-facing role centered on relationship management, communication, and documentation — supporting the client's Europe/USA-based teams through portal management and clear, consistent communication.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own customer portal activity on behalf of the client (automotive supplier/sourcing portals) — managing RFQs and open tasks through to closure with minimal oversight
• Act as the senior communication point between the client's European/US teams and internal stakeholders
• Prepare, track, and maintain accurate documentation (reports, technical correspondence, status trackers)
• Review technical drawings/specifications when required (basic CAD literacy expected)
• Build and manage strong, long-term relationships with international client contacts, including senior stakeholders
• Mentor or guide junior team members on portal processes and client communication practices
• Work on a shift basis, including a second shift (11:00 AM–12:00 PM start) to overlap with European/US working hours
• Use AI tools where useful to improve documentation and communication efficiency

Requirements:

• Mechanical Engineering degree or equivalent — required
• 6–7 years of experience in a customer-facing role, ideally in automotive/industrial B2B
• Fluent in English — written and spoken (essential, daily communication with Europe/USA clients)
• Proven experience interacting directly with customers/clients (any industry background considered, as long as customer interaction was core to the role)
• Basic working knowledge of CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar)
• Strong documentation and follow-up discipline
• Comfortable with shift-based working hours
