About the Role

As a Project Manager, you will take full ownership of large engineering projects from concept through to completion. These projects typically involve bespoke mechanical assemblies, structural steelwork, pipework systems, and site-based installations. You'll be responsible for managing budgets, timelines, resources, and client expectations, ensuring every project is delivered safely, on time, and to specification.

Key Responsibilities as a Project Manager

• Lead end‑to‑end project delivery across multiple engineering contracts
• Develop detailed project plans, risk assessments, and resource schedules
• Manage budgets ranging from £100k to £5m, ensuring financial control and reporting
• Liaise with clients, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure alignment and communication
• Oversee site activities including installation, commissioning, and handover
• Ensure compliance with health & safety, quality standards, and contractual obligations
• Act as the primary point of contact for all project‑related matters

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing engineering or manufacturing projects
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, fabrication, or industrial installations
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and drive project performance
• A qualification in engineering or project management

Why Apply?

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Project Manager who thrives in a dynamic, technical environment and wants to make a tangible impact on high‑value engineering projects. You'll be joining a business with a strong order book, ambitious growth plans, and a collaborative culture that values innovation and accountability.
