Are you a Junior/Graduate Project Manager with at least 1 year of practical work experience and a formal qualification, looking for your first big "ownership" role? This global engineering firm has a rare opportunity for someone at the start of their career to lead cross-functional projects end-to-end, from initial planning right through to production and customer delivery.

Salary £40-45,000 with excellent benefits package, working Monday to Friday on site near Middlesbrough with a lunchtime finish on Fridays. You won't just be a "coordinator" here, but a proper PM: you will be the face of the project to global customers and the glue that holds Engineering, Manufacturing, and Finance together.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Leading the planning and delivery of multiple projects (both internal R&D and external customer contracts).
  • Working "hands-on" with Engineering and Manufacturing to ensure products meet time, cost, and quality benchmarks.
  • Providing frequent updates and managing expectations for both internal leadership and external clients.
  • Managing project budgets, revenue forecasting, and proactively mitigating risks before they become issues.

What You Need:

  • Minimum of 1 year's Project Management experience in engineering, manufacturing, or similar (perfect for a placement year student or recent grad).
  • You must hold a formal Project Management qualification (e.g., APM, PRINCE2, or Agile).
  • Strong communication, an analytical mindset, and the ability to manage a schedule.
  • You must be a UK citizen / British passport holder due to security clearance requirements.

Why You Will Love This Job:

  • Early finish every Friday, free onsite parking.
  • 32 days annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays, rising to 37 with service), plus your Birthday and Christmas Eve off.
  • Company profit-share scheme which pays out annually and a 7% employer pension contribution.
  • Private healthcare cash plan, GP24 service, and enhanced sick pay/maternity/paternity leave.
  • Full CPD support and your annual professional body subscriptions covered.

If you have the qualification, the drive, and at least a year of experience, this is the perfect place to be.
