Project Manager - Engineering

Project Manager – Process Engineering

Peterborough | Full-time | Competitive salary + car or allowance + private healthcare

The Role

If you’re the kind of Project Manager who actually finishes what you start — and takes quiet pride in doing it properly — this one’s for you.

You’ll be leading projects across the food, beverage, and manufacturing sectors — delivering liquid and powder process systems from first handshake to final sign-off. It’s a hands-on role where no two days look the same: one moment you’re reviewing a design drawing, the next you’re in steel-toes on site making sure everything’s running like clockwork.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team who genuinely back each other, take ownership, and care about doing the job right.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of full project delivery — from sales handover through to completion.

• Managing site H&S, CDM, and compliance requirements.

• Overseeing budgets, schedules, and client expectations.

• Building and maintaining strong client and supplier relationships.

• Coordinating subcontractors and engineering teams.

• Supporting business development and repeat work opportunities.

• Ensuring every project meets high standards for quality, safety, and performance.

What You’ll Need

• An Engineering or Process qualification (Degree, HNC, or equivalent).

• Proven experience managing projects within Food, Beverage, FMCG, or similar environments.

• Strong understanding of full project lifecycle — from design to commissioning.

• Commercial acumen and confident financial control.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Experience working in a multidisciplinary setup (mechanical, electrical, process).

• Calm under pressure, detail-focused, and naturally proactive.

What You Might Not Like

• It’s not a sit-behind-a-desk job — expect travel, site visits, and the occasional hard hat day.

• Clients have high expectations and tight deadlines — there’s no coasting here.

• You’ll need to balance hands-on technical work with commercial awareness.

What To Do Next

Because great project managers don’t just deliver work — they deliver confidence.
