We’re partnering with a globally active engineering organisation seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead sophisticated product development programmes from early concept through to launch.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll orchestrate diverse technical teams, balance commercial performance, and ensure projects deliver real value on time and within budget.
You’ll operate at the centre of project delivery, collaborating with senior leaders and technical specialists across engineering, production, planning, commercial, and support functions.

* Managing financial performance, including budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow tracking
* Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients and internal stakeholders
* Identifying risks early and implementing strategies to protect and enhance project outcomes
* Overseeing contractual commitments and ensuring obligations are met
* Controlling scope changes and ensuring alignment with project objectives
* Planning and allocating resources to maximise efficiency and delivery success
* Embedding a culture of continuous improvement through lessons learned
What you bring:
* A proven history of delivering complex engineering or product development projects
* Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence without authority
* Deep understanding of engineering and manufacturing environments
* Experience with Design for Manufacture and production readiness
* Confidence managing project finances and commercial performance
* Ability to navigate risk, contracts, and stakeholder expectations effectively
* Excellent communication skills, with a talent for building lasting relationships
