We are recruiting an experienced Site Project Manager to oversee the on-site delivery of a major £6 million factory upgrade for a leading manufacturing business.

This is a hands-on project delivery role, responsible for coordinating contractors, monitoring progress and ensuring the work is completed safely, according to design and in line with the agreed program.

Although the project includes the replacement and conversion of major manufacturing assets, this is not a machinery focused position. The primary focus is construction, installation, contractor coordination and health and safety within a live manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing the day-to-day delivery of the project on site
• Coordinating contractors, subcontractors and specialist trades
• Monitoring progress against the program and key milestones
• Ensuring work is completed according to drawings, designs and specifications
• Managing health and safety within a live operational factory
• Reviewing RAMS and overseeing permit-to-work requirements
• Ensuring compliance with CDM Regulations 2015
• Identifying and addressing delays, quality concerns and unsafe practices
• Leading site meetings, progress updates and safety briefings
• Maintaining accurate project, inspection and safety records
• Reporting progress, risks and issues to the wider project team

The successful candidate will have:

• Strong experience delivering construction, installation or capital projects
• Experience managing contractors in a live manufacturing, factory, or industrial environment
• A strong understanding of CDM Regulations and construction health and safety
• SMSTS certification and a valid CSCS Manager card
• Experience reviewing RAMS and managing permit-to-work systems
• Strong organisational, communication and contractor-management skills
• The confidence to challenge delays, poor performance and unsafe working practices
• Experience delivering factory upgrades, process plant or energy-conversion projects would be advantageous

This is a fully site-based position. You must be prepared to attend the Manchester-area site every working day, as there is no hybrid or remote-working option.
