Project Engineer
 
Keep complex technical projects on track, from requirements through to delivery, on products that have to work when it matters.
 
This is a Project Engineer role with an established manufacturer, coordinating project delivery across a busy product engineering team.
 
As a Project Engineer you will coordinate project activities and help steer development teams to deliver both internal and external projects on time, for an established manufacturer of mission-critical communications equipment for the aviation and defence sectors.

It is a role that suits an organised, technically-minded engineer who can hold several projects at once and bring order to complexity. If you want genuine ownership of project delivery in a technical environment, this is a role with real scope to grow.
