Project Manager – Food Manufacturing

Food Manufacturing Experience - Essential!

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

We’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 isn’t a role where you’ll be managing small projects and chasing paperwork. You’ll be responsible for delivering significant capital projects, often £1m+ in value, across a busy manufacturing environment.

You’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 £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

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

You’ll need to be comfortable managing substantial budgets and multiple stakeholders, with a track record of delivering projects in excess of £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

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

You’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, there’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 you’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.
