Our client is a world leading manufacturer of highly technical, highly specialised products utilised in a variety of specialist industries including government, defence and telecommunications. After a prolonged period of success, underpinned by the continuous innovation in their products and solutions, they are now seeking a high-performing Programme Manager to drive the programme to develop their next generation of products.

Reporting to the Engineering Director you will be responsible for working across multi-disciplined engineering teams (electronic, software and mechanical) to commercially drive the portfolio of projects to continuously meet the project milestones. There is also the ability to utilise your previous project/programme management expertise to develop and enhance existing project management processes and capabilities across the business.

To be successful within this role you must have experience in taking ownership and responsibility for projects and/or project portfolios and be able to demonstrate successfully driving these projects within a fast-changing customer driven environment.
