 If you're the kind of Project Manager who thrives on variety, loves solving real engineering challenges, and actually enjoys seeing things built and delivered this one’s worth your attention.
 
We’re partnering with a well-established business looking for a confident, capable Project Manager to take the reins on mechanical and infrastructure projects from concept through to commissioning. You’ll juggle design, procurement, manufacturing, installation… the whole shebang. And you’ll keep it all compliant, safe, profitable, and on track.
 
If you’re a natural organiser with a technical head and a calm hand, you’ll fit right in.
 
What You’ll Be Doing
• Leading multi-disciplinary teams to deliver engineering/infrastructure projects end-to-end
• Keeping scope, budget, and timelines firmly under control
• Building, managing, and maintaining project plans, budgets, and risk registers
• Overseeing CDM documentation (CPP, PCI, RAMS, H&S Files, etc.)
• Coordinating design, procurement, manufacturing, and on-site installation
• Running regular progress reviews and keeping senior stakeholders informed
• Managing change control and ensuring clear, accurate reporting
• Supporting bids and tenders with commercial and planning input
• Forecasting resource needs and ensuring project milestones are all on time
• Driving process improvement and boosting profitability wherever you can
• Working closely with internal teams to clarify technical requirements
• Encouraging continuous improvement and first-class project delivery
 
What You’ll Bring
• Experience managing engineering or construction projects (water, mechanical, or infrastructure is ideal)
• Understanding of project management frameworks (APM, PRINCE2, etc.)
• Ability to read, interpret, and manage technical scopes
• Confident using MS Project or similar tools
• A full UK driving licence
• Strong communicator, problem-solver, and natural organiser

Why You’ll Love Working Here
You’ll be joining a close-knit, supportive team where your contribution actually matters and no two days play out the same way. Add to that a genuinely positive workplace and a benefits package that beats a lot of the competition:
 
Benefits:
• On-site parking
• Pension: 4% employee / 4% employer
• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
• Holiday buying scheme (up to 5 extra days)
• Life assurance
• Enhanced maternity pay
• Enhanced sick pay
• Career development including funded CIPS qualifications
• Early Friday finishes

If you’re driven, organised, and ready to take on complex, meaningful engineering projects and if the idea of joining a friendly, hard-working team sounds like your kind of move then we’d love to hear from you
