Location: Barnsley + Hybrid Work from Home

Salary: Up to £60,000 + Benefits

KO2 are working in partnership with a leading electronics business based in Barnsley to recruit a Technical Project Manager with experience in the engineering industry for a 15-month fixed-term position.

This is an excellent opportunity to join an engineering company with a strong focus on innovation, quality, and manufacturability, where new product development is approached with a carefully measured mindset.

In this role, you will oversee and manage multiple projects simultaneously, taking responsibility from concept through to production. You will define project scope, goals and deliverables in alignment with business objectives, working closely with product management, senior leadership and cross-functional design teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and coordinate projects across departments including R&D, Test, and Manufacturing.
• Collaborate with Electronic, Embedded Software, and Mechanical Design Engineers.
• Act as the central point of communication to ensure all stakeholders are aligned.
• Ensure timely delivery of high-quality, compliant electronic products.
• Work effectively in a highly regulated development and manufacturing environment.

Ideal Candidate:

• Proven experience managing technical projects in electronics and embedded software product development.
• Strong understanding of delivering projects from concept through to launch in a manufacturing setting.
• Comfortable working in a structured and process-driven environment—not a high-risk start-up.
• Skilled in stakeholder engagement and cross-functional coordination.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to work across all levels of an organisation.

This fixed-term contract offers a salary of up to £60,000 per annum, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, pension scheme, and a range of other benefits including hybrid work from home.
