We’re looking for someone who isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up and lead from the front. This isn’t a corporate Tier 1 environment with layers of management. We need a commercially minded project leader who enjoys solving problems, building teams, looking after clients and taking ownership. If you want the opportunity to make a real difference in a fast-growing engineering business, we’d love to hear from you.
