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.
