We're working with a growing engineering business in Havant who are looking for a Project Manager to join their team, managing a variety of installation projects across the UK.

You'll be the link between the customer and the internal Design and Installation teams, making sure everyone has the information, resources and timescales they need to keep projects moving.

You'll also manage suppliers and subcontractors, monitor costs, oversee Health & Safety and make sure the customer receives a great service throughout the project.

It's a varied role, so you'll need to be comfortable managing multiple projects at the same time and adapting when priorities change.

What will you be doing?

• Managing engineering installation projects from initial planning through to completion
• Creating and maintaining detailed project plans, schedules and deliverables
• Managing multiple projects simultaneously
• Monitoring project budgets and ensuring costs remain controlled
• Planning labour, travel, equipment and materials efficiently
• Coordinating internal engineering, design and installation resources
• Managing suppliers and subcontractors
• Building strong relationships with customers and acting as a key point of contact
• Identifying project risks early and putting appropriate actions in place
• Ensuring technical information is available when required
• Working with Design and Installation teams to interpret drawings and specifications
• Coordinating project documentation including As-Built Drawings and O&M Manuals
• Supporting the preparation of RAMS
• Managing Health, Safety and Environmental requirements across your projects

• Confidence managing several projects and priorities at once
• An industry-recognised Project Management qualification
• Full UK driving licence
• Flexibility to travel to customer and project sites when required

Experience within critical power, generators, electrical installations, M&E, engineering services or a similar technical environment would be particularly relevant.

About you

You'll be someone who enjoys taking ownership and getting things done.

You won't be afraid to roll your sleeves up when a project needs additional support, and you'll be confident making decisions and solving problems when things don't quite go to plan.

You'll be:

• Proactive and solutions-focused
• Customer-focused
• Commercially aware
• Highly organised
• Comfortable working under pressure
• A strong communicator
• Adaptable when priorities change
• Safety-conscious
