About the role

If you’re already running engineering projects but feel like you’re constantly chasing updates, firefighting delivery issues, or carrying the responsibility without the support, this could be a better setup.



All the relevant skills, qualifications and experience that a successful applicant will need are listed in the following description.

This role offers something a lot of Project Managers are missing. A structured environment, clear ownership, and a business where projects are properly supported rather than patched together.


You’ll be joining a growing engineering company delivering complex mechanical systems into industrial environments across the UK. The work is technically detailed, customer-facing and properly project-led.


Why this role is worth considering


- This is not a chaotic delivery environment.

- Projects are clearly defined and handed over properly

- Engineering and project teams work closely together

- There is a steady pipeline of technically interesting work

- You have the autonomy to run your projects without constant firefighting


The office itself is modern, open and well set up, with a genuinely friendly and supportive team. It’s a stable environment where people stay.


There is also exposure to a wider international group, which adds another dimension to

the role.


What you’ll be doing

You’ll take full ownership of projects from contract handover through to final delivery.

That includes:


- Managing projects end to end across engineering, procurement and delivery

- Acting as the main point of contact for customers and suppliers

- Building and managing project plans, timelines and resources

- Running project reviews and reporting progress internally

- Managing risk, changes and delivery challenges

- Working closely with design and engineering teams to keep projects moving


What they’re looking for

This role suits someone already operating as a Project Manager in an engineering environment.


- Mechanical or industrial engineering background

- Experience delivering projects from start to finish

- Comfortable managing customers, suppliers and internal teams

- Able to plan, organise and drive delivery

- Confident taking ownership and making decisions

This isn’t aimed at someone looking to step up. You’ll need to be comfortable already owning projects.


What's on offer

- Salary up to £55,000

- 5% matched pension

- Employee Assistance Programme

- Modern working environment with a strong team culture

- Structured 37.5-hour week (Monday to Friday)

- Flexibility on start/finish times, with the ability to bank hours and finish earlier on a Friday


Alongside that, you get something harder to find. A role where project management is taken seriously and delivery is properly supported. xwzovoh
