Project Manager

Project Manager
Based in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey

I am working closely with my Surrey-based client, a leading designer and manufacturer of specialist safety equipment for hazardous area electrical equipment serving a global client base across a range of industries, to find an experienced Project Manager to join their in-house Engineering Team.

This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, responding to an ever-evolving regulatory environment, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs.

Their site in Sunbury is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the M3) and public transport (few minutes walk from Sunbury train station) where they have in-house design, fabrication and testing facilities.

We are actively seeking a Project Manager with previous technical project management experience in a product engineering and manufacturing discipline and a proven track record of successfully delivering multiple projects simultaneously.

You will be managing the full lifecycle of products from specification, quotation, design, build, test, certification and ultimately installation.

Each project will involve customisation and modifications to existing products and systems to meet specific customer application.

Applicants should have proven project management skills and customer-facing experiences as you will be managing relationships between internal and external stakeholders. You should also have a strong commercial sense and attention to detail, with the ability to problem-solve and ensure stage gates of projects are met on time and within budget.

Previous experience of developing products used in hazardous environments (i.e. ATEX or IECEx within sectors such as oil & gas, nuclear, food & beverage, or chemical industries) is preferred but not essential, as would experience of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for the pharmaceutical industry, although neither are essential.

In return they are willing to pay an attractive salary for the right candidate which will be negotiable based on experience, together with a personalised induction and personal development plan, and can offer career progression within the company in the future.
