Project Manager

Description

The company is hiring a relocation project manager on a fixed term contract.

The company does industrial work in energy, food, water and shipping, and builds its own technology for those areas. It is a long-established firm that still runs with a start-up approach.

The role covers two steps: first find options for moving the service centre and office, then lead the move under legal processes. The current site is in Camberley, Surrey. You will be based in Camberley for the whole project, with some flexibility to work from home.

You will report to the Service Division Manager and own the activities needed to move and set up the new operations.

On project matters you will report to a steering committee made up of key stakeholders and the UK Management Team and central roles.

The service centre holds standalone equipment used to service and maintain the core equipment, supported by standard industrial ancillary equipment.

The current facility includes medium to heavy precision engineering machines such as lathes, CNC machines, grinders and boring equipment, plus high speed balancing machines, chemical cleaning tanks, pressure washers, extraction systems and LEV units. It also has liquid nitrogen tanks and systems, overhead cranes, welding equipment, ovens and spray booths.
