Monitor project costs, stage payments and commercial performance

Deliver projects across a varied blue-chip customer base within the process, utilities, manufacturing and nuclear sectors
The company has grown consistently over a number of years and the Project Manager position has been created as part of its continued expansion.
You'll be joining a highly regarded engineering team working from modern, high-spec offices, with the opportunity to deliver technically interesting automation projects across several industries rather than being tied to one sector.
There is a genuine career path, structured personal development and support towards Chartered status for candidates looking to achieve it.
The role is predominantly office based with occasional customer site visits.
