Job description

Position Type: Full-time, Permanent

About the Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a proactive and autonomous Project Manager to join a fast-growing, multi-site engineering group. Operating at the forefront of precision casting, machining, and fabrication, the business works with high-spec global industries including defense, aerospace, energy, and medical performance sectors.

As the group expands, the successful candidate will play a pivotal role in driving group-wide operational alignment and leading key commercial onboarding initiatives.

Role Overview

Written with flexibility in mind, this position requires a self-starter who excels at working independently. Specific manufacturing or engineering industry background is not required — strong, structured project management fundamentals and transferable delivery experience are what truly matter.

The successful candidate will operate across two core focus areas:

• Group Integration & Standardisation: Driving the alignment of processes, operational systems, and best practices across multiple group entities to support scalable growth.


• Commercial & Business Onboarding: Managing the end-to-end commercial onboarding of new clients and integrating new revenue lines seamlessly into standard operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Process Alignment: Audit, standardise, and roll out unified operational processes and systems across individual group businesses.


• Commercial Integration: Lead the project lifecycle for onboarding new enterprise clients, ensuring milestone delivery, cross-departmental coordination, and smooth transitions into live production.


• Autonomous Delivery: Map out project scopes, set milestones, track KPIs, and resolve bottlenecks independently with minimal oversight.


• Stakeholder Management: Work closely with cross-functional teams, site directors, and external clients to align project goals and ensure clarity at every stage.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Recognised Qualification: PRINCE2 (Practitioner/Foundation), APM, PMP, or an equivalent structured project management accreditation.


• Proven Track Record: Demonstrated experience successfully delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects on time and within scope (open to candidates from any fast-paced industry sector).


• Self-Driven Working Style: Ability to act as an independent self-starter, take full ownership of deliverables, and set your own structure in a dynamic environment.


• Commercial Acumen: Familiarity with client onboarding, contract execution, or service integration into broader business operations.


• Change & System Integration: Experience managing process improvement or system implementation projects across multiple business units or locations.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and performance benefits package.


• High visibility across senior leadership with direct impact on group integration strategy.


• Flexible/hybrid working arrangements.
