Project Manager - Industrial Equipment

If you're used to managing a dozen small jobs at once, this probably isn't the role.

We're looking for a Project Manager to take responsibility for the delivery of major engineered capital equipment projects within large industrial manufacturing environments.

These are substantial, technically complex installations with long project lifecycles. You'll typically be focused on one major project at a time, taking real ownership of its successful delivery.

The Role

You'll oversee projects from the point they move into delivery through manufacture, installation, commissioning and final handover.

That will include:

Owning the project programme and key milestones

Coordinating engineering, manufacturing, suppliers and site activities

Managing installation and commissioning

Acting as a key point of contact for the customer

Managing contractors and specialist suppliers

Monitoring costs, timescales, quality and project risks

Managing changes and resolving issues as projects develop

Ensuring projects are delivered safely and to specification

These aren't quick-turnaround machinery projects. Installations can be large, complex and long-term, forming part of major manufacturing and production facilities.

Who We're Looking For

You'll already have experience managing capital equipment or major engineering projects within industrial manufacturing.

Your background could include:

Heavy industrial equipment

Process plant

Mechanical handling systems

Production plant and machinery

Process equipment

Tanks, vessels and pipework

Large-scale automated or engineered systems

What's important is the scale and complexity of the projects you've managed.

You'll be comfortable dealing with engineers, contractors, suppliers and demanding industrial customers, and capable of keeping a substantial project moving when there are a lot of plates spinning.

The Opportunity

This is a chance to manage proper engineering projects rather than a conveyor belt of small installations.

You'll have ownership, technical complexity and the satisfaction of seeing a major piece of engineered plant go from project plan to a fully operational installation.
