If you're a Project Manager who wants end-to-end ownership in an aerospace parts manufacturing environment-where delivery, compliance and detail matter-this role is built for you. You'll lead customer programmes producing precision aerospace components/assemblies, coordinating production, engineering, procurement and quality to ensure everything ships on time, to specification and within budget. Expect hands-on involvement with MRP/ERP, NPI, and build-to-print work in a controlled, regulated setting.
You will plan and control project flow through an aerospace parts manufacturing business, ensuring contractual and quality requirements are met. You'll act as the primary customer contact for assigned projects, managing schedule, materials, risk, change control and commercial impact.

Manage projects from contract review/order receipt through to final delivery (scope, schedule, cost, quality).
Create and communicate project plans, milestones and recovery plans to support OTIF delivery of aerospace parts.
Use MRP/ERP to manage demand, material availability, job progression, capacity and delivery commitments.
Coordinate with Procurement, Production, Engineering and Quality to ensure tooling, documentation and resources are in place.
Lead NPI and build-to-print activity; control drawings, specifications, routings, work instructions and quality requirements.
Identify risks/constraints early and drive mitigation or escalation to protect delivery and margin.
Manage change control (drawing revisions, schedule changes, additional requirements and commercial impacts).
Track/report status, costs, risks and milestones; lead project and customer meetings (including site visits as required).
Experience & skills required
Proven Project/Programme Management experience in manufacturing; aerospace parts manufacturing/defence strongly preferred.
Strong understanding of technical drawings/specifications, regulated quality requirements and change control.
Experience delivering NPI, build-to-print and production-based projects in a controlled environment.
Confident using MRP/ERP (Epicor/Kinetic advantageous) plus Excel, MS Project and Teams.
