If you’re already running engineering projects but feel like you’re constantly chasing updates, firefighting delivery issues, or carrying the responsibility without the support, this could be a better setup. This role offers something a lot of Project Managers are missing. A structured environment, clear ownership, and a business where projects are properly supported rather than patched together. You’ll be joining a growing engineering company delivering complex mechanical systems into industrial environments across the UK. The work is technically detailed, customer-facing and properly project-led. Why this role is worth considering • This is not a chaotic delivery environment., • Projects are clearly defined and handed over properly, • Engineering and project teams work closely together, • There is a steady pipeline of technically interesting work, • You have the autonomy to run your projects without constant firefighting The office itself is modern, open and well set up, with a genuinely friendly and supportive team. It’s a stable environment where people stay. There is also exposure to a wider international group, which adds another dimension to the role. What you’ll be doing You’ll take full ownership of projects from contract handover through to final delivery. That includes: • Managing projects end to end across engineering, procurement and delivery, • Acting as the main point of contact for customers and suppliers, • Building and managing project plans, timelines and resources, • Running project reviews and reporting progress internally, • Managing risk, changes and delivery challenges, • Working closely with design and engineering teams to keep projects moving What they’re looking for This role suits someone already operating as a Project Manager in an engineering environment. • Mechanical or industrial engineering background, • Experience delivering projects from start to finish, • Comfortable managing customers, suppliers and internal teams, • Able to plan, organise and drive delivery, • Confident taking ownership and making decisions This isn’t aimed at someone looking to step up. You’ll need to be comfortable already owning projects.
