Job Description

Project Manager

South Wales | £43,000 - £48,000+ DOE | Permanent | 4-Day Working Week

We're recruiting for a Project Manager to join a leading aerospace and defence manufacturer in South Wales.

This role is ideal for an established Project Manager with experience delivering projects in a manufacturing environment. We're looking for someone who understands how to plan projects, manage risks, maintain schedules, coordinate stakeholders and deliver against customer expectations.

Joining a small and collaborative project management team, you'll take ownership of customer projects from planning through to successful delivery. Working closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering and Finance teams, you'll ensure projects remain on track in terms of cost, quality and timescales.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Managing projects throughout the full lifecycle.
  • Developing and maintaining project plans, schedules and delivery milestones.
  • Managing risks, issues and project change.
  • Acting as the key point of contact for customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Providing regular progress updates and project reporting.
  • Coordinating cross-functional teams to achieve project objectives.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience in a Project Manager role.
  • A track record of delivering projects and managing customer relationships.
  • Strong planning, scheduling and risk management skills.
  • Experience within manufacturing, engineering, or a related technical environment.
  • The ability to work independently and drive projects forward with minimal supervision.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.

Experience within aerospace, defence or another regulated manufacturing sector would be advantageous, but we're open to candidates from a range of manufacturing backgrounds. The key requirement is proven project delivery experience and an understanding of how products move through a manufacturing environment.

What's On Offer?

  • £43,000 - £48,000+ depending on experience.
  • 4-day working week.
  • Pension salary sacrifice scheme.
  • Healthcare cash plan.
  • Life assurance.
  • Cycle to Work scheme.
  • Company sick pay.

This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Project Manager who enjoys taking ownership, building relationships and delivering successful outcomes in a collaborative manufacturing environment - please apply today.
