Job Description
Project Manager – Chemical Engineering (Confidential)
Location: Hybrid – North West England or North West Yorkshire.
We are partnering with a globally established specialty chemicals business operating in highly regulated and technically demanding markets. The organisation delivers complex, cross-functional projects that require strong coordination across commercial, operational and technical teams. Best thing about them - encouraging a great work life balance with a 35 hour working week!
They are now seeking a Project Manager with a chemical engineering background to support the delivery of key business initiatives.
The Role
This is a hands-on project delivery role, not a purely administrative PM position.
You will take ownership of multiple projects (typically sub-£1m), ensuring they are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required technical and operational standards.
The role requires someone who is structured, detail-oriented and comfortable operating in complex chemical environments, where safety, compliance and process discipline are critical.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple projects, from planning through to execution and completion
Coordinate cross-functional teams across operations, commercial, finance and technical functions
Ensure strong governance, reporting, and adherence to project lifecycle processes
Manage project risks, timelines, budgets and resource allocation
Drive accountability across stakeholders to ensure delivery milestones are met
Support continuous improvement of project processes and delivery efficiency
Provide clear updates to senior stakeholders on progress, risks and outcomes
What They’re Looking For
This role suits someone who is technically grounded and commercially aware, rather than a purely theoretical project manager.
Key requirements:
Degree in Chemical Engineering (strong preference) or related technical discipline
Proven experience delivering projects within chemical, process, manufacturing or industrial environments - MUST HAVE
Strong understanding of process, safety and compliance-driven environments
Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and drive delivery across functions
Comfortable working with structure, governance and reporting
:
Formal project management qualification (PRINCE2, APM, PMP)
Experience in product development, manufacturing projects or ERP/process improvement initiatives
Why This Role Stands Out
Opportunity to work within a technically complex, global chemical business
Exposure to cross-functional projects with real commercial and operational impact
A role where delivery and execution matter more than theory
Stable, structured environment with clear processes and expectations
