A well-established business in the technical manufacturing sector is looking for a Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex, bespoke machinery and special purpose equipment projects.

* Identify and manage project risks, scope changes, and commercial implications
* Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification
* Support key project milestones including design reviews, build phases, FAT, I&C and delivery

Required Experience
* 3+ years' experience managing bespoke capital equipment orders through an organisation
* Proven experience delivering bespoke machinery, special purpose machinery, automation systems, or capital equipment
* Strong understanding of production/manufacturing processes
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, with evidence to support this

This role would suit a hands-on Project Manager who enjoys working closely with engineering teams and taking ownership of technically challenging bespoke machinery projects.
