Your role

We are seeking an Engagement Manager with consulting and/or engineering experience to join Capgemini Engineering. We are looking to attract candidates with a track record of project and bid management, consulting and client relationship building in complex delivery and/or engineering environments.

Hybrid working:
The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your profile

As an Engagement Manager, you will be responsible for working closely with clients in a consultative capacity to identify solutions to their business problems. This will involve scoping out bids alongside the client and internal SMEs, managing the bid activities, and mobilising and delivering projects that will lead to the convergence of physical and digital worlds through technology, engineering and manufacturing expertise.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Client liaison – being the key point of contact for an emerging programme of work
• Bid management
• Project delivery
• Leading a team and supporting the strategic direction from the business
• Developing and supporting team members
• Project planning and controls
• Tracking and reporting progress to time, cost and quality
• Enacting profitability and margin improvement initiatives
• Ensuring productivity of the team
• Forecasting and project finances
• Risk management
• Quality control
• Continuous process improvement
• Problem resolution
• Resource allocation
• Client satisfaction

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini, stiving for equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment, for everyone.
