Project Manager in Lancaster, Lancashire

Project Engineer/Manager 
Lancaster, Lancashire | Permanent | Full Time
Up to £40k DOE

Love keeping projects on track and seeing them through from first brief to production? This is a great opportunity to join a modern, forward thinking manufacturer in Lancaster, working as part of a close knit engineering team on innovative, high tech products.

What you'll be doing

Around 80% of your time will be spent running engineering projects across the full lifecycle, from initial brief and quotation right through to production. The other 20% is design work, so it's a role with real variety. Day to day that looks like:

• Planning projects, setting milestones and keeping everything on track for time, cost and spec
• Working with Sales at quotation stage to clarify customer requirements and assess feasibility
• Coordinating with design, production, quality and purchasing to keep projects moving
• Supporting verification testing on prototypes and pre-production parts, plus validation of manufacturing processes
• Keeping accurate project records in line with ISO quality standards

What you'll bring

• A degree in Engineering
• A couple of years' experience in an engineering role, ideally with some project delivery
• Strong organisation and planning skills, with the confidence to work across different teams
• A practical, proactive approach and a willingness to challenge how things are done
• Full UK working rights (sponsorship is not available)

Nice to have

• CAD experience (SolidWorks ideal), although training can be given with CAD 
• Some exposure to FMEA, validation or APQP
• Experience working within ISO 9001 or ISO 13485 quality systems

What's in it for you

• Salary up to £40k DOE
• Real ownership of projects end to end, rather than being one cog in a big machine
• A mix of project management and design, so no two weeks are the same
• A modern, high tech building
• Training and genuine opportunities for progression

It suits someone who enjoys juggling a few projects at once, likes a bit of variety and wants to keep learning.
