We are currently recruiting for a Project Manager to join an established engineering and manufacturing business based in Knowsley.

• Support quotations, product costing, project planning and customer requirements.
• Organise and lead project meetings, including Kick Off, PDR and CDR meetings.
• Maintain accurate project information and documentation, including within the ERP system.
• Monitor project profitability and identify opportunities for cost reduction and recovery.
• Manage customer returns and complaints alongside the Quality team.
• Support new product introductions, R&D projects and engineering/NRE activity.
• Drive continuous improvement through lessons learned and effective project communication.

About You

We are looking for someone who has:

• Strong ERP/MRP and Excel skills.
• Experience within an engineering, manufacturing or technical environment.
• Excellent organisation and communication skills.
• A commercial approach with an understanding of costs and project profitability.
