Project Manager - Peterborough

Project Manager (with Technical / Project Engineering Experience) 

Microbyte is looking for a person who has genuine care for customers and people in general. The organisation has grown into an international service provider and given its committed engineers amazing opportunities to progress. Trust is one of the keystones at Microbyte and the supportive environment has built a wealth of committed engineers who are always looking to improve. 

Are you a technically strong engineer who enjoys running projects as much as delivering them? 

Have you perhaps hit a glass ceiling in pure engineering and are looking for the next step into project leadership, without losing touch with the tech? 

This role is a blend of project management and hands-on project engineering. You’ll own the planning, coordination and successful delivery of projects - but you’ll also stay close enough to the technology to design solutions, support engineers, and occasionally get hands-on when needed. 

At Microbyte, we pride ourselves on providing cutting edge technologies with a fast-paced team of forward thinkers. If you see yourself being involved in an ever-growing MSP with friendly, collaborative offices based in the UK, UAE and US, then this could be the role you’re looking for. 

Microbyte is growing across the globe, and our customer base is constantly expanding. For the right candidate there will be opportunities to work with international clients as well as clients across the UK. This is a fast-paced, high-pressure role that requires initiative, ownership and forward thinking.
