Project Manager Location:
Leicester, LE19 Salary:
£42,000 - £45,000 per annum, with flexibility for exceptional experience The Opportunity
Are you a Project Manager who likes being close to the action rather than sitting behind a desk? This is an opportunity to join a growing manufacturing business delivering bespoke retail displays and customer-facing projects for well-known brands. You'll take ownership from the initial brief through to production, delivery and installation, coordinating people, materials, suppliers and deadlines along the way. It's a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly, so we're looking for someone who is organised and commercially aware, but equally happy to roll up their sleeves and get involved when something needs sorting. What You'll Be Doing
Taking full ownership of projects from initial brief/order through to final delivery and installation
Managing multiple projects, priorities and deadlines simultaneously
Coordinating design, purchasing, production, warehouse, logistics and installation teams
Planning production schedules and ensuring the right materials, information and resources are available at the right time
Working closely with suppliers and resolving issues that could affect delivery
Communicating confidently with clients and keeping them updated throughout the project
Monitoring project costs, estimates, margins and overall commercial performance
Reviewing project requirements, drawings and specifications to ensure everything is understood and delivered correctly
Identifying potential problems early and finding practical solutions
Supporting the wider team wherever required to keep projects moving
Ensuring projects are delivered on time, to the required standard and within agreed commercial parameters
What We're Looking For
Proven Project Management experience within manufacturing, production, retail display, engineering, construction or a similarly fast-paced environment
Experience managing projects from start to finish
Strong production planning and scheduling experience
Good commercial awareness, including project costs, estimating and margins
Excellent organisation skills with the ability to juggle competing priorities
A practical, hands-on approach to project management
Confident communication skills across clients, suppliers and internal teams
A positive, resilient approach when plans change or problems arise
Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do
Comfortable working at pace and making decisions to keep projects on track
A genuine team player with ambition and drive
What's On Offer
£42,000 - £45,000 salary, with flexibility for exceptional experience
Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm, 37.5 hours per week
Predominantly office-based in Leicester, with some flexibility for hybrid working
Opportunity to work on projects for major brands
Genuine end-to-end project responsibility
A varied role where no two projects are exactly the same
Opportunity to have real input into delivery and operational decisions
Growing business with ambitious plans
Occasional overtime/weekend work may be required around project deadlines
Interested? If you're a Project Manager who enjoys taking responsibility, solving problems and seeing a project through from start to finish, we'd love to hear from you. Please apply with your CV and a member of the ER Recruitment team will be in touch.
