Job description

Overview

Join us as a Project Manager for our client. At Peregrine, we’re always seeking Specialist Talent that have the ideal mix of skills, experience, and attitude, to place with our vast array of clients. From Business Analysts in large government organisations to Software Developers in the private sector, we are always in search of the best talent to place, now.

At Peregrine, we find the best talent for our clients. As a permanent employee of Peregrine, with access to all our standard benefits, you will be deployed across our portfolio of clients as a specialist consultant, working on a wide array of complex projects across multiple industries.

The Role

We are seeking a capable and resilient Project Manager to lead the delivery of a complex engineering solutions project within a broader offshore technology programme. This role involves managing eight critical deliverables, beginning with the accelerated design, build, and deployment of a key deck-based solution for the first offshore unit, followed by planning for the second unit. The successful candidate will coordinate across internal teams and external suppliers to ensure timely and high-quality outcomes.

This position is essential to stabilising a currently stalled project and introducing delivery discipline. We’re looking for someone who can bridge technical and stakeholder challenges without requiring a senior-level budget.

Responsibilities

Your main day to day responsibilities will be:

• Delivery Oversight
  Ensure timely execution of priority deliverables, including interim workaround solutions for equipment handling and manual processing systems. As well as commercial-ready processing systems and laboratory container solutions. Collaborate with internal delivery leads and external suppliers to deliver automated handling systems, storage solutions and associated components.
• Project Planning & Execution
  Develop and maintain detailed project plans with clear milestones and critical paths. Drive action logs and RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs to ensure proactive risk management. Manage scope and cost changes through a structured Change Request (CR) process. Operate effectively within a waterfall project delivery model.
• Financial Management
  Work with stakeholders to define and approve budgets for each deliverable. Monitor and control budget vs actuals, ensuring financial discipline and alignment with forecasts.
• Stakeholder Engagement
  Lead weekly project meetings to track progress and resolve issues. Act as the central point of coordination across regional teams and suppliers. Present solution scopes and interfaces to ensure end-to-end process alignment. Provide regular updates at the programme level to highlight schedule impacts. Coordinate with other project managers to manage dependencies. Manage challenging personalities and maintain strong stakeholder relationships.
• Compliance & Quality
  Ensure all solutions undergo appropriate design approvals, safety assessments, and testing. Collaborate with engineering and quality teams to update plans and validate deliverables.

Skills & Experience

You’ll have a demonstrable passion for delivery with the following skills or proven experience in:

• Approximately 4-5 years of project management experience in engineering or technical environments.
• Exposure to engineering disciplines (marine experience beneficial but not essential).
• Comfortable working with engineers and technical teams.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including handling difficult personalities.
• Competence in planning, risk management, and supplier coordination.
• Experience with offshore equipment or deck-based systems.
• Familiarity with RAID and CR processes.
• Resilient and able to perform under pressure.
• Detail-oriented with the confidence to engage senior engineers and technical leads.
• Clear communicator with a proactive and structured approach to problem-solving.
