Are you a project manager with strong technical grounding in mechanical systems and industrial installations? We’re looking for a driven and detail-oriented Project Manager, for a leading client in Sandy, to take ownership of high-value engineering projects from post-sale through to successful installation and commissioning.

What You’ll Be Doing

Managing turnkey engineering projects, including process and mechanical installations ranging from small-scale (£50k) to multi-million-pound systems.
Translating commercial and technical scopes from the sales team into full P&IDs (piping & instrumentation diagrams), working with internal design resources.
Creating and managing project BOMs, installation plans, and any necessary export paperwork.
Specifying pumps, valves, pipework and associated equipment appropriate to machinery requirements and site conditions.
Overseeing Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) to ensure quality and compliance with customer specifications.
Acting as the key point of contact between internal teams (engineering, design, manufacturing, installation) and the client.
Communicating and managing project timelines, risks, and delays effectively with all stakeholders.
Collaborating closely with a growing team of project engineers and designers throughout the delivery phase.
Occasional travel to UK customer sites (approx. once/month) and international sites (up to 4 weeks/year) during key project milestones.

What We’re Looking For

Experience managing complex engineering projects – ideally within process, mechanical, or industrial machinery sectors.
A solid technical understanding of mechanical components including pumps, valves, pipe runs, and related systems.
Confident in reading and creating P&IDs and technical engineering specifications.
Strong project management skills – planning, resourcing, budgeting, and client communication.
Experience with FAT, commissioning, or site-based installs is a plus.
Ability to liaise cross-functionally with design, engineering, manufacturing, and clients.

Why Join Them?

Be part of a technically accomplished and collaborative project engineering delivery team.
Work on varied, high-impact projects with a diverse client base.
Enjoy a role that blends office-based technical planning with occasional site engagement.
