We are looking for an experienced and motivated Project Officer to support the execution of the NEXTLOGIC project – Next-generation urban freight logistics for net zero emissions through innovative solutions.

Coordinated by Prof. Francesco Vitti from the Engineering department, NEXTLOGIC is funded under the HORIZON-MISS-2024-CIT-01 call: Changing urban spaces and mindsets to accelerate the transition to climate neutrality.

The tasks and responsibilities will cover:

  • Serve as the central coordination point for the NEXTLOGIC project administration, working closely with internal teams, partner institutions, and the European Commission
  • Organise and facilitate the project’s administrative kick-off and ensure clear communication between all stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle
  • Oversee contractual and financial administration related to the project
  • Support and coordinate the production and timely submission of all required reports and deliverables
  • Monitor project expenses and ensure compliance with EU funding guidelines, supporting both internal and external partners
  • Drive communication with key stakeholders, ensuring milestones are met and expectations aligned
  • Collaborate with the Research Facilitator team and the FSTM’s financial controllers to provide consistent, strategic project support
