Project Manager
 
This Project Manager role suits someone with a strong engineering background who still enjoys being close to the technical detail but wants full ownership of projects. It is well suited to an engineer stepping into their first formal Project Manager position, or an experienced Project Manager who prefers a hands-on, delivery-focused environment rather than a purely administrative role.
 
The business delivers complex, bespoke engineering projects in a fast-paced setting. As a Project Manager, you will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and customers to make sure projects are delivered on time and within budget. This is not a desk-only position, the Project Manager is expected to get involved with the technical side when required.
 
The Project Manager will take responsibility for projects from initial enquiry through to final delivery, balancing customer communication, internal coordination, and cost control. This role is ideal for a Project Manager who enjoys variety, accountability, and working across multiple disciplines.
 
What the Project Manager will be doing

Providing engineering and technical input during quoting and throughout project delivery
Owning projects end to end, accountable for cost, timescales, and delivery
Acting as the main point of contact for customers, managing expectations and building strong working relationships
Working closely with account management and internal departments
Planning and scheduling tasks and resources with appropriate lead times
Monitoring progress, budgets, and hours across all project stages
Managing changes within projects, including priorities and resource allocation
Maintaining accurate project documentation, drawings, and controlled issue records
Using the internal project management system to track hours, costs, and milestones
Leading regular project reviews with key stakeholders 
What we are looking for in a Project Manager

Strong communication and people management skills
Ability to understand customer requirements and translate them into deliverable engineering solutions
Good understanding of engineering processes, procedures, and manufacturing requirements
Confident managing budgets, schedules, and competing priorities
Proactive problem solver who can adapt to change
Willingness to support and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives 
Experience and qualifications

Minimum of 3 years industry experience in a technical or engineering-based role
Previous experience working as a Project Manager or taking ownership of engineering projects
Design engineering background highly desirable for this Project Manager position
Relevant engineering qualification
Project management qualification beneficial but not essential
Ability to meet Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements
