Join a company at the forefront of high-tech engineering, delivering cutting-edge products across multiple industries. This role offers the opportunity to lead large-scale projects in a state-of-the-art facility, where you’ll see innovations evolve from concept to completion—all under one roof.

They design and manufacture under the same roof, giving you the opportunity to see the impact of your work. Ideally, you will have several years of experience in project management and a degree/qualification in an engineering discipline.

Experience in budget management and project forecasting would be a strong advantage, as this role requires full ownership of project finances, procurement, and overall execution from start to finish.

This role includes some travel for project-related customer visits, but all trips will be well-planned with plenty of advance notice.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a tangible impact on complex, multi-million-pound projects while shaping the future of engineering project management.

What You’ll Do:

1. Manage end-to-end project lifecycles from concept to delivery.
2. Take ownership of project forecasting, budgeting, and cost control.
3. Work closely with engineers and clients to optimize project execution and streamline deliverables.

What We’re Looking For:

1. A degree/qualification in an engineering discipline.
2. 5+ years of project management experience in a high-tech engineering industry.
3. Good expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and cost management.
4. A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a passion for improving project delivery.
