Jasmine/Iain @ Duval is recruiting this exciting role.
What we need is top communication skills and engineering and measuring / site survey background. Someone who can manage projects from order to handover - design, procurement, manufacture, installation, commissioning, and snagging. An organiser, problem solver, multitasker. Is this you?
Join the “Rolls-Royce” of industrial capital equipment. With a reputation for precision, quality, and service, they deliver bespoke capital equipment projects across the UK and Ireland, manufactured in Germany and installed with care. Project value typically can be £100K to £10Mil. You could be dealing with between 3 and 8 live projects at any one time at various stages. Projects can take 5 months – 18 months.
This is a hands-on, dynamic, and consultative role. You’ll be the face of the project, liaising with clients, leading internal teams, and ensuring delivery is smooth, safe, and on budget.
More on the role:
* Manage multiple bespoke equipment projects end-to-end
* Lead cross-functional teams (design, installation, technical, stores)
* Conduct site visits, take measurements, plan logistics and installations
* Chair meetings, manage documentation, and oversee health & safety (RAMS, method statements)
* Liaise with customers throughout the process—consultative, not transactional
* Prevent scope creep, manage budgets, and issue variations where needed
* Travel across the UK/Ireland weekly (1–3 site visits/week), occasional overnight stays
* Annual trip to Germany HQ for training and collaboration
We’re looking for:
* Engineering, factory, industrial, or heavy equipment background
* CAD or engineering qualification ideal (but not essential)
* Agile, flexible, and solutions-focused
* Confident communicator, able to lead without ego
* Mouldable, eager to learn, and ready to grow with the business
* Comfortable in a small/medium business culture - adaptable and proactive
* Ideally 5+ years’ experience, but open to junior or mid-level candidates with the right mindset
* Strong time management, prioritisation, and multi-tasking skills
