We are looking for a Project Manager with a proven track record of delivering advanced technology programmes in an engineering, production and development environment. This includes managing the project timeline, budget, resources, engineering and workshop teams as well as external suppliers, to ensure that the project meets its goals, adheres to quality standards, and stays within scope.

Project Planning & Coordination: Develop detailed project plans, including scope, objectives, timeline, resources, and budget.

Team Management: Lead and motivate a team of design, fabrication, workshop and quality engineers, delegating tasks and responsibilities to appropriate team members. Ensure team collaboration and resolve conflicts if necessary.
Budget & Resource Management: Monitor and control project expenses and resources to ensure the project stays within budget.
Risk Management: Identify potential risks and challenges throughout the project lifecycle and develop strategies to mitigate these risks. Resolve issues and handle changes that affect the scope or timeline.

Reporting & Documentation: Prepare reports for senior management, detailing project progress, budget adherence, and any challenges. Maintain comprehensive project documentation for record-keeping and future reference in line with TISICS governance and processes.
Post-Project Evaluation: Conduct post-project evaluations to analyse the success of the project, document lessons learned and implement improvements for future projects.
