This role is 100% site-based, working closely with both internal teams and our customer managing complex, fast-paced marine projects.

We want someone who can take responsibility and own the outcome, so if that sounds like you — we’d love to talk!

So what will you do?

• You’ll take full ownership of multi-million-pound marine projects, from the initial estimating, design and planning stages through to final delivery, ensuring all technical, financial, and stakeholder requirements are met.
• You’ll manage and coordinate all stakeholders by developing and executing detailed project plans, including timelines, resource allocation and budget management.
• You’ll facilitate communication and collaboration while monitoring project progress, identifying risks, and implementing mitigation strategies.
• You’ll ensure compliance with industry standards and client specifications providing regular project updates and reports to your senior leadership team and our clients.

What are we looking for?

• An Engineering qualification – preferably in mechanical engineering or similar with solid project management experience in ship repair, defence, or a marine engineering environment.
• Someone who thrives in a busy, boots-on-the-ground setting — not behind a desk.
• Confidence in working day to day with senior stakeholders, including your customer.
• Eligibility for MOD security clearance is essential.
• Competency using MS Office and planning tools eg MS Project / Primavera or similar.
• Procurement and budget management skills including data analysis, excel and management reporting capability with accuracy and attention to detail.
• A strong planner and organiser comfortable making decisions to meet targets.

Why join us?

• Personal Growth - This is an opportunity to make a significant impact while working with and learning from a team of experts from the marine and structural engineering industries. The chance to be part of a team making a real impact on the future of the business.
• Financial Security - with important benefits like your Pension which includes a monthly employer contribution by A&P Tyne up to 4% and Life cover at 7 x your basic salary is part of your package.
• Healthy Living - At APCL we support healthy living and provide help when it's needed. To ensure that you are able to take time off when you need it, we offer sick pay and to cover everyday health we have a health cash plan, which gives you access to money back on everyday healthcare costs. Your dental, optical and physiotherapy as well as wellness services including counselling sessions, digital mental health support, 24/7 virtual GP, and an EAP are included.
• Work-life Balance - We offer 25 days of annual leave per year plus Bank Holidays. Maternity, Paternity and Parental leave support you during those significant life changes, helping you to balance your family responsibilities with work.

Due to the nature of what we do for some of the customers that we work with, some roles working for A&P are subject to security control restrictions. These restrictions mean that factors including your nationality, any previous nationalities you have held, and your place of birth may limit those roles you can perform with us. You must also undergo a Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) check before your employment starts, which will include a basic DBS check.
