Contract: Permanent

The Opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Project Manager or Project Engineer with strong timber / wood manufacturing experience to take full ownership of projects from concept through to installation.

We’re specifically looking for someone who understands how things are made on the shop floor — from machining and processing timber through to final assembly — and can confidently manage projects across the full lifecycle.

You’ll work closely with clients while also being hands-on with internal teams, ensuring designs are practical, manufacturable, and delivered to the highest standards.

If you enjoy bridging the gap between design, production, and real-world manufacturing, this role offers exactly that.

The Company

An independent, award-winning manufacturer specialising in bespoke products, with a strong reputation for quality and craftsmanship. The business is experiencing sustained growth and continues to invest heavily in both its people and production capabilities.

The Role

  * Manage full lifecycle projects within a timber / wood manufacturing environment

  * Act as the key point of contact for clients from initial enquiry through to installation

  * Translate client requirements into practical, manufacturable solutions

  * Work closely with the shop floor, understanding machining processes and production constraints

  * Oversee design, production, and delivery stages

  * Coordinate internal teams and external stakeholders

  * Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification

  * Visit client sites as required

The Candidate

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  * Proven experience managing projects within timber / wood manufacturing

  * A strong understanding of shop floor processes, machining, and production methods

  * Experience delivering projects from concept through to completion

  * The ability to communicate effectively with both clients and production teams

  * A practical, hands-on mindset with a focus on manufacturability

  * A mechanical engineering qualification (HNC, HND, or Degree) or equivalent experience

  * Experience with design software such as Autodesk Inventor (advantageous)

  * A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel

  * The right to work in the UK (please note: sponsorship is not available)

Why Apply?

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a growing manufacturer where you’ll have real ownership and influence over projects.

You won’t just manage timelines — you’ll play a key role in ensuring products are designed and built the right way, with a strong connection to the shop floor.

If you're looking for a role where your timber manufacturing knowledge and project management skills will be fully utilised, we’d love to hear from you.
