* Strong communication skills are paramount

* Project Manager will report to the Operations Manager on all aspects of project progress and cost control

* Be responsible for cost control forecasts and reports

* Provide monthly updates highlighting project movements, cost to complete and margin.

* Give presentations of commercial position at Monthly Project Review Meetings.

* Provide Proof of Concept forecasts for each quarter and update regularly.

* The business is a global market leader in their field with a very solid order book and an impressive range of household brand names as clients.

* The company has a strong/positive culture that encourages creativity, autonomy and recognises success with the opportunity for promotions and career development including annual pay reviews
