Project Manager – New Product Introduction Our client is a well-established, UK-based manufacturer - part of a larger, financially stable global group. Operating from multiple sites in the Yorkshire area, they produce high volume units and have a strong, experienced R&D/Engineering team of 40+ technical staff. This is a business with real heritage, a growing order book, and serious investment in its product development programme. The Role This role is a genuinely critical position sitting at the heart of the technical development programme, reporting directly to the Programme Manager and working closely with the Head of R&D.
