We are working with a rapidly growing technology and recycling business that is expanding its operations across the UK.
As part of this growth, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to take responsibility for the successful delivery of a large-scale, multi-site equipment rollout programme.
This is a hands-on delivery role, coordinating multiple sites, customers, installation teams, contractors and third-party suppliers to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and on schedule.
You will be responsible for taking projects from initial planning and site readiness through installation, commissioning and final handover, acting as the key link between the customer, internal teams and delivery partners.
The role would suit a Project Manager who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, growing environment where there are multiple moving parts and the ability to proactively identify and resolve issues is essential.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the delivery of assigned multi-site rollout and deployment projects, ensuring milestones, timelines and operational objectives are achieved.
- Develop and maintain detailed project plans covering site readiness, logistics, installation, commissioning and handover.
- Coordinate installation schedules across multiple customer locations.
- Manage internal teams, contractors and third-party suppliers to ensure effective project execution.
- Act as a key point of contact for customers throughout the delivery process.
- Coordinate site activities and ensure all parties are aligned on programme requirements and deadlines.
- Monitor project progress, identify risks, dependencies and potential delays, and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.
- Maintain accurate project documentation, delivery records and progress reporting.
- Track project costs, manage variations and support forecasting and budget control.
- Coordinate the successful handover of completed installations into operational and service teams.
- Ensure projects are delivered in accordance with relevant health, safety, quality and operational requirements.
- Provide regular updates to senior stakeholders on progress, risks, issues and key milestones.
- Support continuous improvement across the rollout and deployment process as the UK operation develops.

- Strong project planning and scheduling skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent activities.

- Strong customer-facing and stakeholder management experience.

- A project management qualification such as PRINCE2, APM, PMI or equivalent experience would be advantageous.

Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its UK growth.

The role offers genuine scope to make an impact, working across customers, suppliers and delivery teams while helping shape how projects are delivered as the business scales.
If you have experience delivering complex, multi-site projects and enjoy being close to the detail rather than simply managing from a distance, we'd like to hear from you.
