Senior Project Manager — Mechanical Systems & Precision Engineering | Oxford | £75K + Bonus Do you have hands-on experience delivering technically complex projects involving mechanical systems, noise and vibration, or high-precision motion control, and do you want to be the person actually driving the work, not overseeing someone else who is? An Advanced technology company based in Oxfordshire is looking for 2 Senior Project Managers with real engineering substance to lead complex, high-impact projects from the front. This is a rare opportunity to work on genuinely cutting-edge technology used by leading global manufacturers, where your technical credibility matters as much as your project management capability.

You’ve owned the risk, managed the stakeholders, and driven delivery personally., • Mechanical systems experience — particularly in the context of noise, vibration, and dynamic system behaviour. You understand how mechanical design choices affect performance at a practical level., • Motors and controllers — hands-on project experience in high-precision, stability-critical, or throughput-driven environments. You’re comfortable engaging with the technical detail, not just the timeline., • Data analysis for performance and preventative monitoring - you’re confident in interpreting results data and using it to inform decisions. No coding required. You’ll also bring: • A degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or a related technical discipline, • A track record across engineering, R&D, or precision manufacturing environments, • Experience working in organisations of different sizes - enterprise, SME, and ideally startup or scale-up, • Senior project management certification — PRINCE2 Practitioner, APM, MSP or equivalent What's On Offer: • Competitive salary: £75,000 (dependent on experience), • Annual performance bonus, • Flexible working hours (hybrid working available after successful probation) Apply now or call me directly on 07791 615703 to discuss further.
