Are you an experienced Project Manager with an engineering or technical background? Do you have experience managing installation projects from initial planning through to completion, keeping a close eye on budgets, timescales, resources and customer expectations? We're working with a growing engineering business in Havant who are looking for a Project Manager to join their team, managing a variety of installation projects across the UK. Paying £40,000–£50,000 depending on experience, this is a great opportunity to join an ambitious business where you'll have genuine ownership of your projects and the opportunity to make an impact.
What's the role all about? You'll take responsibility for engineering installation projects from start to finish – making sure they're properly planned, resourced and delivered on time, within budget and to the right quality standards. You'll be the link between the customer and the internal Design and Installation teams, making sure everyone has the information, resources and timescales they need to keep projects moving. You'll also manage suppliers and subcontractors, monitor costs, oversee Health & Safety and make sure the customer receives a great service throughout the project. It's a varied role, so you'll need to be comfortable managing multiple projects at the same time and adapting when priorities change.

Experience within critical power, generators, electrical installations, M&E, engineering services or a similar technical environment would be particularly relevant.
About you: You'll be someone who enjoys taking ownership and getting things done. You won't be afraid to roll your sleeves up when a project needs additional support, and you'll be confident making decisions and solving problems when things don't quite go to plan. You'll be:
- Proactive and solutions-focused
- Customer-focused
- Commercially aware
