Engineering project manager

Colchester (Essex)
Elev8 Recruitment
Engineering project manager
Posted: 4 May
Offer description

Job Description

If you’re already running engineering projects but feel like you’re constantly chasing updates, firefighting delivery issues, or carrying the responsibility without the support, this could be a better setup.

This role offers something a lot of Project Managers are missing. A structured environment, clear ownership, and a business where projects are properly supported rather than patched together.

You’ll be joining a growing engineering company delivering complex mechanical systems into industrial environments across the UK. The work is technically detailed, customer-facing and properly project-led.

Why this role is worth considering

- This is not a chaotic delivery environment.

- Projects are clearly defined and handed over properly

- Engineering and project teams work closely together

- There is a steady pipeline of technically interesting work

- You have the autonomy to run your projects without constant firefighting

The office itself is modern, open and well set up, with a genuinely friendly and supportive team. It’s a stable environment where people stay.

There is also exposure to a wider international group, which adds another dimension to

the role.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll take full ownership of projects from contract handover through to final delivery.

That includes:

- Managing projects end to end across engineering, procurement and delivery

- Acting as the main point of contact for customers and suppliers

- Building and managing project plans, timelines and resources

- Running project reviews and reporting progress internally

- Managing risk, changes and delivery challenges

- Working closely with design and engineering teams to keep projects moving

What they’re looking for

This role suits someone already operating as a Project Manager in an engineering environment.

- Mechanical or industrial engineering background

- Experience delivering projects from start to finish

- Comfortable managing customers, suppliers and internal teams

- Able to plan, organise and drive delivery

- Confident taking ownership and making decisions

This isn’t aimed at someone looking to step up. You’ll need to be comfortable already owning projects.

What's on offer

- Salary up to £55,000

- 5% matched pension

- Employee Assistance Programme

- Modern working environment with a strong team culture

- Structured 37.5-hour week (Monday to Friday)

- Flexibility on start/finish times, with the ability to bank hours and finish earlier on a Friday

Alongside that, you get something harder to find. A role where project management is taken seriously and delivery is properly supported.

Next step

If you’re already in a Project Manager role and want a more structured environment where you can focus on delivery properly, apply or get in touch for more detail.
