Project Manager - Industrial Projects

Location: Greater Manchester
Sector: Industrial Services / Heavy Engineering

This is not a paper-pushing Project Manager role.

This is for someone who knows how to own complex industrial projects, manage risk, and deliver safely in high-pressure environments.

Our client is a well-established industrial services business operating nationally, delivering technically challenging projects across heavy engineering, lifting, machinery installation, and industrial relocation.

They are growing and they need a Project Manager who can lead from the front.

The Role:

• You will take full responsibility for end-to-end delivery of industrial projects, from planning through execution to handover.

That means:

• Owning project scope, programme, cost, and safety
• Coordinating site teams, subcontractors, and specialist suppliers
• Managing RAMS, lifting plans, and method statements
• Acting as the primary client interface
• Anticipating problems before they become incidents
• Delivering projects on time, safely, and profitably
• This role requires decisive leadership, not supervision from the sidelines.

What They're Looking For:

• You don't need to be polished - you need to be effective.

You'll likely come from:

• Industrial services
• Heavy lifting / crane operations
• Engineering installation
• Mechanical or electrical project delivery
• Industrial maintenance or relocation projects

You should bring:

• Proven project management experience in industrial or engineering environments
• Strong understanding of site safety and risk management
• Confidence dealing directly with clients and senior stakeholders
• The ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing control
• A practical, solutions-led mindset
• Formal PM qualifications are useful, real-world delivery experience matters more.

Why This Role?

• Stable, growing business with a strong order book
• Complex, interesting projects (not repetitive build work)
• High trust role with genuine autonomy
• Long-term career opportunity, not a stopgap
• This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, ownership, and progression

If you're a Project Manager who takes accountability, understands industrial environments and delivers results under pressure then this is worth a confidential conversation.
