Project Manager – Bespoke Machinery & Special Purpose Equipment
About the Role
A well-established business in the technical manufacturing sector is looking for a Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex, bespoke machinery and special purpose equipment projects.
You'll take ownership of projects from order intake through design engineering, manufacture, and final delivery — ensuring successful outcomes for both the customer and the business.
This role would suit a commercially aware Project Manager with a strong background in technical manufacturing environments, ideally with experience in the design, build and delivery of custom machinery or capital equipment. Projects span the design and manufacture of bespoke automated machinery and engineered equipment, delivered from concept through to build, factory acceptance testing, and final customer handover.
Key Responsibilities
* Take full ownership of end-to-end delivery of bespoke machinery projects, from bid stage to delivery
* Manage project schedules, costs, resources, and technical delivery
* Coordinate multi-disciplinary operational teams including design, procurement, assembly and manufacturing
* Act as the primary customer interface and coordinate support resource
* Identify and manage project risks, scope changes, and commercial implications
* Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to specification
* Support key project milestones including design reviews, build phases, FAT, I&C and delivery
Required Experience
* 3+ years' experience managing bespoke capital equipment orders through an organisation
* Proven experience delivering bespoke machinery, special purpose machinery, automation systems, or capital equipment
* Strong understanding of production/manufacturing processes
* Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
* Strong organisational and prioritisation skills, with evidence to support this
This role would suit a hands-on Project Manager who enjoys working closely with engineering teams and taking ownership of technically challenging bespoke machinery projects.
Benefits
* £50-60k salary
* 4 day working week
* Company pension scheme
* Generous holiday allowance
* Flexible working patterns
* Health Cash Plan
* Death in Service Benefit (3 x annual salary)
