About the role

We’re working closely with a market‑leading organisation that specialises in the bespoke design, manufacturing, and installation of anti‑ligature door systems for hospitals and secure facilities across the world. We are looking for a Project Manager to coordinate and deliver multiple manufacturing and installation projects for various regional NHS Trusts, ensuring they run to scope, timeframes, and quality standards. Working closely with sales, operations, production, logistics, and installation teams, you’ll keep projects on track, manage client communication, and ensure every installation meets the highest standards.

This is a hybrid position with weekly travel to client sites alongside working from home. A full UK driving licence is required.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of projects from order confirmation through manufacturing, delivery, installation, and final sign‑off.
• Coordinate technical details with production, ensuring anti‑ligature door systems are built to spec, fully assembled, and meet strict quality requirements.
• Work closely with install teams to plan site access, schedule works, and ensure safe, efficient installation in live healthcare environments.
• Manage subcontractors on site and oversee benchmark installs, ensuring compliance with standards and organising remedial actions where needed.
• Hold regular progress meetings with NHS clients, providing clear updates, managing expectations, and resolving issues quickly.
• Review drawings, elevations, and architectural information to ensure accuracy before production and installation.
• Maintain tight control of timelines, manufacturing lead times, and logistics planning to keep projects on track.

Requirements

• Strong project/contract management experience in manufacturing, construction products, fit‑out, or installation‑led environments. Ideally within a healthcare setting.
• Highly organised and able to juggle multiple live projects, manage lead times, and maintain tight project controls.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work closely with NHS clients, contractors, installers, and internal teams.
• Strong understanding of how products move from design and production through to site installation.
• Comfortable with coordinating subcontractors and ensuring high installation standards on site.
• Proficient with Excel, Smartsheet, Salesforce, or similar tools.
• Full UK driving licence and own vehicle.
