Team Leader chassis

Are you interested in being part of the Leadership Group for next year’s project – ER26?

As a team leader you have several key responsibilities in which the majority are centered around your team:
The main focus is ensuring that the team achieves success within its area of expertise, it is also of importance that you ensure the members well-being. 

Other Responsibilities include:
Leading and actively participating in two workshops per week.
Participating in a leadership meeting once a week and arranging for any extra meetings with the team if needed. This includes a meeting on monday if you are TL for a technical team.
Participating in the strategic planning for both the team and leadership group throughout the project year.
Collaboration between the different teams amongst team leaders.
Responsibilities within the team include analyzing risks, establishing milestones, assessing progress and ensuring follow-ups.

As the team leader of Chassis you are in charge of the big static mechanical subsystems of the car. The goal of the team is to supply a rigid platform that connects the rest of the systems to each other and give the driver a safe and ergonomic environment. These goals are dispersed over three different subteams, Driver’s environment, Frame, and Safety. For the ER26 project the team will also be responsible for the push bar.

One of the biggest tasks of the team leader is to compose and organise the work of your subteams and any other team that have interfaces to the chassis team, which are most technical teams, and be the link in between the management and your system engineers. This means you are constantly interacting with people from different teams and get to know a lot of persons all throughout the organisation which I have found to be one of the most fun parts of the role. Furthermore, you as a team leader are the main contact for our wonderful Chassis specific sponsors alongside the sponsor team.

To summarise the role as team leader of Chassis you will be responsible for the team with most interactions to other teams on the car, which means you will get a lot of connections with others. Last but not least you will also get an awesome experience as a leader in a real and cool project, and that is why I think you should apply to the role of team leader of Chassis.
