Job Description
Project Manager - Industrial Projects
Location: Greater Manchester
Sector: Industrial Services / Heavy Engineering
This is not a paper-pushing Project Manager role.
This is for someone who knows how to own complex industrial projects, manage risk, and deliver safely in high-pressure environments.
Our client is a well-established industrial services business operating nationally, delivering technically challenging projects across heavy engineering, lifting, machinery installation, and industrial relocation.
They are growing and they need a Project Manager who can lead from the front.
The Role:
* You will take full responsibility for end-to-end delivery of industrial projects, from planning through execution to handover.
That means:
* Owning project scope, programme, cost, and safety
* Coordinating site teams, subcontractors, and specialist suppliers
* Managing RAMS, lifting plans, and method statements
* Acting as the primary client interface
* Anticipating problems before they become incidents
* Delivering projects on time, safely, and profitably
* This role requires decisive leadership, not supervision from the sidelines.
What They're Looking For:
* You don't need to be polished - you need to be effective.
You'll likely come from:
* Industrial services
* Heavy lifting / crane operations
* Engineering installation
* Mechanical or electrical project delivery
* Industrial maintenance or relocation projects
You should bring:
* Proven project management experience in industrial or engineering environments
* Strong understanding of site safety and risk management
* Confidence dealing directly with clients and senior stakeholders
* The ability to manage multiple moving parts without losing control
* A practical, solutions-led mindset
* Formal PM qualifications are useful, real-world delivery experience matters more.
Why This Role?
* Stable, growing business with a strong order book
* Complex, interesting projects (not repetitive build work)
* High trust role with genuine autonomy
* Long-term career opportunity, not a stopgap
* This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, ownership, and progression
Interested?
If you're a Project Manager who takes accountability, understands industrial environments and delivers results under pressure then this is worth a confidential conversation.
