Sales and Project Management
Single-point coordination for industrial projects from brief to handover
Héðinn's Technical Service Department manages projects of all scales, controlling cost, schedule, quality, and safety from first contact to final sign-off.
Full project oversight, from scope agreement to final documentation
The Technical Service Department at Héðinn handles project management across the full delivery range, from standalone technical tasks to large multi-discipline projects involving design, fabrication, external suppliers, and on-site installation. Project managers are responsible for cost control, scheduling, and quality assurance throughout each engagement.
Industrial projects fail most often at the handoffs between disciplines. Héðinn's project management service provides a single accountable contact who tracks progress across engineering, the workshop, suppliers, and the client's site team, keeping every phase connected and the schedule intact.
Because design, fabrication, machining, and installation are all within one company, the project manager has direct visibility of production status and can resolve conflicts between schedule, scope, and resource before they become delays.
Track Record
Grounded in over a century of industrial delivery
Héðinn has delivered industrial projects since 1922, accumulating deep experience across fisheries, energy, marine services, and heavy industry.
Project managers coordinate work across fisheries, marine operations, energy plants, and heavy industrial clients as a standard part of service.
Design, steel fabrication, precision machining, and on-site installation are all managed within a single company, reducing coordination risk.
One project manager takes responsibility for cost, schedule, quality, and safety from initial scope agreement through to final sign-off.
Service Scope
What project management at Héðinn covers
A practical management layer for technical work that crosses engineering, production, procurement, and installation disciplines.
Define the work package clearly before production starts. Project managers establish scope, confirm budget inputs, and track cost against the agreed plan throughout the job.

- Supplier and subcontractor scheduling
- Progress tracking
Connect engineering, steel fabrication, machining, procurement, and site installation teams. The project manager is the single contact for the client throughout.
- Internal handoff management
- Supplier and subcontractor liaison
- Client communication
Participation in design reviews, construction meetings, and site inspections ensures safety and quality requirements are maintained at every stage of delivery.

- Quality inspection and sign-off
- Safety compliance oversight
How a managed project runs at Héðinn
A structured delivery sequence that keeps engineering, production, and installation aligned from the first briefing to final handover.
Brief and scope
Clarify the project requirement: what needs to be built, repaired, or installed, what the constraints are, and what documentation is required at the end. Scope, cost, and schedule targets are agreed before work begins.
Engineering and design
The Technical Service Department develops drawings, specifications, and procurement plans. Where existing conditions need to be captured accurately, 3D scanning feeds directly into the design before fabrication starts.
Production and procurement
Steel fabrication, machining, and supplier orders run in parallel under the project manager's coordination. Progress is tracked against the schedule and reported to the client at agreed intervals.
Installation and commissioning
Héðinn's site team carries out installation and commissioning with the project manager present to resolve any fit or sequence issues on the spot. Safety and quality checks are completed before handover.
Closeout and documentation
Final inspection, as-built documentation, and closeout materials are compiled and handed over. The project record provides a reference for future maintenance or modifications.
Common questions about project management at Héðinn
Questions from maintenance managers, chief engineers, and procurement teams considering a managed project engagement.
The Technical Service Department handles projects at all scales, from individual technical tasks that require coordination across a few steps to full turnkey projects involving design, fabrication, procurement, and on-site installation. Project management is applied wherever coordination across disciplines adds value, regardless of budget size.
Yes. Project managers routinely coordinate with external suppliers, subcontractors, and equipment manufacturers alongside Héðinn's internal departments. Supplier schedules and deliveries are tracked as part of the overall project plan, and the project manager takes responsibility for keeping all parties aligned toward the agreed completion date.
Yes. Project managers participate in design meetings, construction meetings, and site inspections as standard. For projects requiring on-site installation, the project manager is present to handle any fit or sequence issues immediately, reducing the risk of delays that would otherwise require additional site visits.
Closeout documentation is agreed at the scoping stage based on the project type and client requirements. It typically includes as-built drawings, inspection records, material certificates, and a summary of any deviations from the original specification. This package gives the client a clear record for future maintenance and regulatory reference.
Project management sits within the same Technical Service Department as design and consulting, 3D scanning, and automation work. This means a project manager can pull in the right technical specialists at the right stage without introducing external coordination overhead. For clients, this translates to a shorter route from problem to delivered solution.

Connected Capabilities
Project management backed by in-house production
When the project manager and the production teams are in the same company, decisions move faster and problems get resolved at source.
Project management experience across four industrial sectors
Héðinn's project management team has accumulated experience across fishing and fish processing operations, marine and vessel service projects, energy and geothermal plant work, and heavy industrial facilities. Each sector brings its own scheduling constraints, safety requirements, and documentation standards, and the team is familiar with all of them.
This cross-sector experience means the project manager can anticipate the site access issues, operational sensitivities, and regulatory expectations that affect delivery timelines in each industry, and plan accordingly before they cause disruption.
Bring the project scope and we will plan the route
Whether the starting point is a fully defined specification or a general requirement, the Technical Service Department can help establish scope, confirm the delivery sequence, and assign the right resources. One contact point, from first briefing to final documentation.
