MK Projektpartner / Technical Project Leadership

Engineering is one thing. Making it work is another.

Mads Kylling — Senior Technical Project Manager - Freelance Consultant

I’m Mads Kylling.

MK Projektpartner ApS provides hourly consultancy services in technical project management, engineering, site supervision and commissioning. With 25+ years of experience, I support short- and long-term projects from engineering to handover.

I bridge the gap between engineering, suppliers, manufacturing and site installation. Combining technical expertise with hands-on experience, I keep projects moving, solve practical challenges and ensure solutions work in practice.

01 Background

I don’t just manage the project. I understand what we’re building.

WORKSHOP
ENGINEERING
PROJECTS
LEADERSHIP
SITE

I started my career as a qualified machinist before becoming a Mechanical Engineering Technician. I later complemented my technical background with an Academy-level management qualification. This combination of hands-on experience, engineering expertise and leadership skills shapes my approach to technical project management, with a strong focus on people, technology and results.

I work at both project and management level, but I also enjoy going into the technical details together with designers, suppliers, production and installers. My strength is creating coherence between the different areas of the project and finding solutions that work in practice.

03 On site

From Project Office to Site.

I work at project and management level, but I also participate actively on site when the project requires it.

Being close to installation, suppliers and the people carrying out the work helps me identify practical issues early, keep engineering and execution aligned, and follow the project through to commissioning and handover.

Project/01

Security applications Offshore Vietnam

From Denmark to Vietnam.

Offshore Security & Defence

Project management Design Procurement Manufacturing FAT Site Supervision

Development and delivery of custom-built, insulated offshore containers approved by DNV in accordance with DNV 2.7-3 for security and defence applications. The project included structural engineering, design reviews, procurement, supplier management, fabrication and integration of mechanical, electrical and IT systems, including battery backup, climate control, fire suppression, surveillance and access control.

My responsibilities included project management, technical coordination, quality assurance, completed load testing, FAT, punch list follow-up and preparation of technical documentation, including load test, lifting and installation procedures.

I also spent four weeks on site in Vietnam supervising installation activities, coordinating local teams, resolving technical issues and preparing for commissioning. HSE activities included risk assessments prior to site activities and toolbox meetings with the teams involved.

Industrial Cooling System

Piping Skids Manifolds Pressure Testing Mechanical Installation

Project management and technical coordination of an industrial cooling system comprising more than 560 pipes, assembled into prefabricated skids and manifolds with welded steel frames, pipe supports, pumps and valves. The scope included planning and coordination of engineering, procurement, fabrication, welding, surface treatment, pressure testing and assembly, as well as quality assurance and independent third-party weld inspections of both piping systems and steel structures, including RT (Radiographic Testing) and UT (Ultrasonic Testing). My responsibilities included supplier management, progress monitoring, technical clarifications and coordination between engineering, fabrication and assembly. The focus was on quality, documentation and practical solutions to ensure the completed units were ready for installation.

Project/03

Biogas Denmark

Engineering meets site.

Biogas Piping – Denmark

Technical coordination of fabrication and installation of prefabricated piping and spool systems for a biogas project on Funen, Denmark. The scope included coordination between engineering, fabrication and site activities, focusing on technical clarifications, design changes, project progress and resolving practical challenges. The piping systems were fabricated by certified welders, and pressure testing was carried out by an independent third party as part of the project's quality assurance process. My role was to ensure alignment between technical requirements, fabrication and installation, contributing to efficient project execution with a strong focus on quality, documentation and practical solutions.

Process equipment Pharma packaging

From concept to production.

Printing & Coating Process Equipment

Engineering Management Product Development Project Management OEM Commercial Management FAT / SAT

Extensive experience in technical leadership, engineering management and product development of advanced printing and coating equipment for industrial production lines, including pharmaceutical packaging and international OEM customers. My responsibilities included leading engineering teams, managing technical development and coordinating projects from concept and mechanical design through manufacturing, installation and commissioning. I also held significant commercial responsibility, including technical sales, customer relations, quotations, cost estimation and contract negotiations. My experience combines hands-on engineering expertise, technical leadership and commercial understanding to deliver complex industrial equipment from concept to final handover.

Project/05

Production equipment Installation

When the machine doesn’t fit the building.

Machinery Installation & Production Equipment

Project Management Mechanical Engineering Technical Coordination Supplier Management Resource Planning Logistics Installation & commissioning Operator Training

Project management and coordination of major production equipment installation, requiring modifications to existing building structures to enable machinery access and positioning. The scope included planning of site access, logistics, temporary building modifications, machinery installation, commissioning, operator training and subsequent building reinstatement. My responsibilities included overall coordination, activity prioritisation, resource planning and progress monitoring across multiple disciplines. The project required technical clarifications, close collaboration and practical problem-solving to ensure efficient installation, commissioning and operator training with minimal disruption to ongoing production.

Project/06

Offshore DNV & ATEX

Built for offshore.
Approved by DNV.

Offshore Refrigeration & Freezer Containers – DNV & ATEX

Project management Customer coordination Technical leadership Mechanical engineering Supplier management Offshore DNV ATEX Refrigeration systems

Project management and technical coordination of the delivery of two purpose-built offshore containers – one refrigeration container and one freezer container – replacing existing installations.

The project covered customer dialogue, clarification of technical requirements and specifications, design, production and integration of refrigeration and freezer systems, as well as ATEX solutions and DNV approval.

My responsibilities included ongoing customer contact, technical clarifications, supplier management and coordination between customer, engineering and production, as well as follow-up on quality, progress and documentation. The focus was on ensuring a reliable solution that met the customer's requirements and the particular conditions of offshore installations.

05 Commissioning

Following the project through to handover.

Commissioning is where a project proves itself. I stay with it through installation, testing and punch lists – until the solution works in the production environment and can be handed over.
