This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll run the full project lifecycle from planning and fabrication through to installation and handover. Success means delivering on quality, safety, budget, and timelines every single time.

This position has opened because our existing team, while technically strong, cannot dedicate the focus required for detailed scheduling and delivery. We need someone who thrives on structure, accountability, and results. If you bring both deep project management expertise and a mechanical engineering background, this is your chance to step into a role where you’ll make an immediate impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the delivery of two large ongoing projects while keeping multiple smaller ones moving forward at the same time, often ten or more in total.

Create, update, and manage project schedules using MS Project as your central tool, producing clear Gantt charts and progress reports.

Keep projects on track by identifying risks early, resolving bottlenecks quickly, and ensuring milestones are met.

Coordinate and motivate a team of up to twelve people, including engineers, drafting specialists, junior project managers, process engineers, a workshop manager, and workshop staff.

Use your mechanical engineering expertise to oversee assemblies and sub-assemblies, making sure manufacturing processes run smoothly.

Work closely with suppliers, vendors, and contractors while ensuring safety, compliance, and quality are never compromised.

Take ownership of budgets, monitor costs, forecast resources, and deliver projects on time and on budget.

Start with a structured orientation to learn our technology and workflows, then hit the ground running with full ownership of outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.

At least ten years of experience in project management and mechanical engineering across industrial, manufacturing, or clean-technology sectors.

Deep experience with MS Project, using it for scheduling, reporting, and program management.

Proven ability to deliver large engineering or manufacturing projects while managing multiple concurrent streams of work.

Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence, push back when necessary, and keep momentum across teams and suppliers.

High attention to detail, excellent organisational skills, and the ability to manage priorities under pressure.

Solid understanding of safety, environmental, and quality standards in industrial settings.

What’s On Offer

The chance to lead high-impact projects that shape the future of advanced engineering and manufacturing.

A role with real ownership and influence over decision-making.

Work with a collaborative, highly skilled engineering team in a supportive environment where your expertise is valued.

Opportunities for growth and to build a long-term career in a company that is investing in innovation and delivery excellence.

Ready to Apply?

If you are an experienced Project Manager with a strong mechanical engineering background and the drive to deliver complex, high-value projects, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and take the next step in leading cutting-edge engineering projects.
