A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Project Manager, you will take ownership of projects from initial estimating and planning through execution, delivery and final closure. You will bring together the people, resources, suppliers and activities needed to deliver projects safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards.

Working in a manufacturing and engineering environment, you will coordinate cross-functional project teams and external vendors while acting as a key point of contact for customers and internal stakeholders. You will have the autonomy expected of an experienced Project Manager, making decisions, resolving issues and maintaining control of project performance with limited supervision.

Alongside delivery, you will maintain a strong focus on commercial and financial performance, identifying risks early, controlling budgets and forecasts, and ensuring stakeholders have a clear view of project progress.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Take ownership of the full project lifecycle, from estimating, scoping and planning through execution, delivery and project closure.
• Develop and maintain project plans covering scope, schedules, resources, key milestones and dependencies, coordinating activities across internal teams and external vendors.
• Monitor project performance against agreed cost, schedule, staffing and quality requirements, taking corrective action where performance moves away from plan.
• Manage project financials, including budgets, forecasting, cost tracking, billing and invoicing, ensuring accurate financial control throughout delivery.
• Identify, assess and mitigate project risks and obstacles, resolving issues before they impact delivery, cost or customer commitments.
• Lead stakeholder and customer communication, facilitate project reviews, maintain accurate project documentation and support less experienced project professionals through coaching and knowledge sharing.

What You Bring

• Significant experience independently managing projects through the full project lifecycle, ideally within a manufacturing, engineering or industrial environment.
• Strong practical experience of project planning, scheduling, resource management and project controls, with the ability to manage multiple dependencies and priorities.
• Proven experience managing project budgets, forecasts, risks and financial performance.
• Strong stakeholder and customer management skills, including the ability to communicate project status, negotiate priorities and influence decisions.
• A recognised project management qualification such as Project Management Professional (PMP) or Association for Project Management Professional (APMP) would be advantageous.
• A Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Project Management or a related discipline is desirable, although significant relevant professional experience will also be considered.
