Job Description

Turning pioneering science into real-world solutions takes more than great ideas—it takes outstanding project management.


We are seeking an experienced Technical Project Manager to join a highly regarded optical technology company at the forefront of ophthalmics, AR/VR, and advanced optical systems. This is a rare opportunity to work on some of the most technically ambitious development programmes in the industry—managing complex, multi-disciplinary projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible.


The Role

As a Technical Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of end-to-end project delivery—from scope definition through to launch—ensuring that milestones are met, risks are managed, and projects are delivered on time and within budget. You’ll work with teams spanning engineering, physics, and materials science, bringing together world-class expertise to deliver cutting-edge R&D and NPI programmes.


Projects will include both client-led collaborations with global industry leaders and internally funded innovation programmes. You’ll play a key role in client engagement, ensuring technical excellence is matched by clear communication and strong relationships.
