Project Manager – Automation Solutions

Express Recruitment are working with an established technology-led engineering business that designs and delivers sophisticated software solutions used within highly automated operational environments. As part of continued investment into their project delivery capability, they are looking to appoint an experienced Software Project Manager to join their growing technical team. This position will take ownership of customer software projects from initial scoping and planning through to implementation, acceptance and final handover. You’ll work across a small and agile team structure, bringing together specialists from Software Development, Product, Architecture, Commercial and Engineering to keep delivery aligned against agreed timescales, budgets and customer requirements. It’s a particularly good opportunity for someone who enjoys being at the centre of technically complex projects, combining structured project control with regular customer interaction. You’ll be accountable for project performance, including forecasting, risk management, resource coordination and change control, while helping ensure potential issues are identified and addressed well before they impact delivery. Due to the nature of the position, there will be occasional requirements to support customer implementations and go-lives, including some out-of-hours work when required and candidates must be based within a commutable distance (3 days per week minimum) of the Nottingham office.
