Engineering Project Manager
Electrical & Instrumentation Systems in Hazardous Environments
Location: Chichester (office-based) + UK & occasional international travel
Salary: £55-70,000 + car allowance + bonus
Type: Permanent, full-time
The Company
A specialist engineering business delivering electrical, instrumentation and fluid-handling systems into safety-critical environments across the UK and internationally. They design, engineer, integrate and support complex assets from concept and build through to testing, commissioning and handover, working with both industrial and commercial clients. Their reputation is built on technical integrity, quality delivery and practical engineering excellence.
The Opportunity
This is a senior Engineering Project Manager role youll take ownership of the technical delivery of a large and varied project portfolio, managing multiple live projects at any one time at different stages of the process, some running over multiple years.
This role is best suited to someone who enjoys setting priorities, managing competing deadlines, and owning the engineering detail, rather than pure people management. Youll personally pull together scopes, lead designs, manage approvals, and see projects through to build, commissioning, and handover.
What Youll Be Doing
Owning the full engineering lifecycle: survey, scope, concept design, detailed design, delivery and handover
Managing multiple concurrent engineering projects across electrical, mechanical and process disciplines
Acting as the technical authority between commercial, design, production, quality and commissioning teams
Supporting the commercial team with technical input, proposals, and costings
Coordinating internal electrical design engineers and external specialist consultants
Managing design certification, approvals, and client sign-off
Overseeing the transition from design into production and build
Working closely with commissioning teams to ensure systems are delivered and handed over correctly
Maintaining regular client communication and technical confidence throughout the project lifecycle
This is a hands-on management role, you will personally drive a significant proportion of the engineering workload rather than delegating everything.
Technical Environment
Electrically biased systems with mechanical and hydraulic integration
Fuel storage, transfer, and fluid-handling systems
Large fabricated assets including tanks, skids and packaged systems
Highly regulated and safety-critical environments (aviation, industrial, hazardous areas)
Use of external design consultants and certifying bodies
What Were Looking For
Youll be an experienced engineering professional who is comfortable managing complexity, ambiguity, and scale.
Essential:
Strong electrical engineering background (E&I / controls / systems)
Proven experience delivering engineering projects end to end
Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously
Confident interfacing with clients, consultants, and internal teams
Strong organisation, prioritisation, and communication skills
Willingness to travel occasionally within the UK and internationally
Highly desirable:
Experience in fuel systems, process engineering, oil & gas, aviation, or similar regulated sectors
Exposure to ATEX, CompEx, or hazardous-area environments
Experience working with HAZOP documentation and design approvals
Understanding of mechanical and hydraulic integration
HNC, HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering or similar
Why This Role Stands Out
Genuine technical ownership, not just project tracking
Influence across design, delivery, and client relationships
Exposure to complex, long-life engineering projects
Opportunity to shape engineering delivery as the business grows
Trusted, senior role within a specialist engineering environment
