Ready to take the lead on high-value projects that genuinely move the dial?
We're working exclusively with one of the UK's leading manufacturers who are undergoing a major site transformation, with record investment going into new technology, automation and site expansion.

As Engineering Project Manager, you'll be at the heart of it - driving forward mechanical, electrical and automation-based CapEx projects that directly support the site's growth. If you've led engineering projects in a manufacturing setting and enjoy seeing your work go from concept to commissioning, this is one to consider.

What you'll be doing
As Engineering Project Manager, you'll manage and deliver site-level capital projects (typically ranging from £50k to £2m), while also supporting larger group-led programmes. It's a varied role covering everything from scoping and stakeholder management to technical delivery and handover.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading end-to-end delivery of M&E and automation projects on site
• Liaising with operations, engineering, and external contractors to develop solutions
• Producing scope documents, managing budgets, and ensuring timelines are met
• Chairing CapEx meetings and presenting project updates to stakeholders
• Supporting with process improvement, compliance and safety design standards
• Ensuring all work aligns with technical specifications for hygiene, safety, and maintainability
• Driving continuous improvement across project systems and delivery frameworks

What you'll need to succeed

• Strong experience managing technical projects in a manufacturing or process environment
• Background in mechanical, electrical or automation engineering
• Familiarity with plant upgrades, equipment installation and infrastructure improvements
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Project qualifications such as APM, Prince2, Agile etc would be a bonus
• Comfortable using systems like SAP and managing CapEx cycles from start to finish

What's in it for you

• £60,000 - £65,000 salary
• Days-based role with site flexibility
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays
• Up to 6% employer pension contribution
• Life assurance x4 annual salary
• Flexible benefits and discount platform
• Real opportunities for career progression, both onsite and across the wider group

This is a key role in a once-in-a-generation investment programme.
You'll be involved in a wide range of impactful projects, shaping the future of the site and working alongside a passionate and experienced team.
