We are looking for a driven and technically minded Project Manager to lead aftermarket projects focused on the overhaul, revamp, installation, and modernisation of rotating equipment. You will take full ownership of assigned projects from initial solution development and estimating through to commercial negotiation, execution, and close out.

This is a role for someone who thrives on end to end responsibility - balancing customer engagement, technical coordination, commercial control, and delivery excellence. You will be the central link between sales, engineering, operations, suppliers, and customers, ensuring every project is delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You will manage projects typically ranging from £200K to £2M, with performance tracked weekly and monthly. Your work will directly influence customer satisfaction, repeat business, and the financial success of the business.

The role is initially being recruited on a 12 month FTC basis, however we would intend to make the position permanent. Hybrid working is available, and remote work could be offered dependent on circumstances.
