The Role We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join a growing, high-technology engineering business delivering complex, multi-disciplinary programmes. This role sits at the heart of engineering delivery and will manage a varied portfolio including new product development, bespoke customer projects, internal improvement initiatives, and research or proof-of-concept work.
