Job Description

Project Manager andndash; Food Manufacturing

Food Manufacturing Experience - Essential!

If youandrsquo;re an experienced Project Manager who enjoys seeing a project through from initial concept to completion, this could be a very good opportunity.

Weandrsquo;re working with a well-established food manufacturer that continues to invest heavily across its site, with a healthy project pipeline, strong budgets and plenty of scope for someone to make a real impact.

This isnandrsquo;t a role where youandrsquo;ll be managing small projects and chasing paperwork. Youandrsquo;ll be responsible for delivering significant capital projects, often andpound;1m+ in value, across a busy manufacturing environment.

The Role

Youandrsquo;ll take ownership of projects from initial scoping and business case through to installation, commissioning and handover.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing projects with budgets of andpound;1m+

  • Developing project plans, budgets, timelines and delivery strategies

  • Managing project spend and ensuring budgets are controlled effectively

  • Working closely with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver against business objectives

  • Managing contractors, suppliers and external partners throughout project delivery

  • Supporting procurement, tendering and contractor selection

  • Managing project risks, issues and dependencies

  • Coordinating engineering, operations, technical and other internal teams

  • Ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the required standard

  • Providing regular updates to senior stakeholders and reporting on project progress

  • Supporting commissioning, handover and post-project review

About You

Weandrsquo;re looking for someone who has genuine end-to-end project management experience within a manufacturing environment.

Youandrsquo;ll need to be comfortable managing substantial budgets and multiple stakeholders, with a track record of delivering projects in excess of andpound;1m.

You should have experience with:

  • Capital/project management within manufacturing

  • Budget management and financial control

  • Contractor and supplier management

  • Stakeholder management at multiple levels

  • Project planning and risk management

  • Installation, commissioning and handover

  • Managing multiple projects or workstreams simultaneously

Whatandrsquo;s On Offer?

This is a business that continues to invest, so youandrsquo;ll have plenty to get your teeth into rather than spending your time managing the same projects year after year.

Youandrsquo;ll have access to strong project budgets, a varied project pipeline and genuine scope to influence how projects are delivered.

On top of the salary, thereandrsquo;s a generous benefits package including a bonus, along with the opportunity to join a stable, well-established manufacturer with long-term investment plans.

If youandrsquo;re looking for a Project Manager role where you can take ownership of significant projects and actually see the results of your work on site, this is one worth exploring.
