About the Role
As our Project Delivery Manager you will drive logistics initiatives from initial concept through to final delivery and review
within our aircraft wing manufacturing facility. Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will lead both client-suggested
modifications and internal supply chain improvements. This is a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground role requiring you to be fully
immersed in shop-floor logistics operations to understand live constraints, manage strict aerospace risk profiles, and ensure
seamless delivery. Initially a six month fixed term contract.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll:
* Define project boundaries, material handling requirements, and initial budgets
* Collaborate with operational teams to build comprehensive, realistic timelines and delivery schedules
* Be an active ‘change agent’ - leading execution phases directly from the warehouse floor
* Conduct reviews, track compliance, and ensure smooth handover to BAU
* Spend significant time on-site to understand live production and logistics challenges, solving supply chain bottlenecks on the
ground alongside operational personnel, and proactively identify, track, and mitigate strict aerospace risk profiles
* Compile and maintain master project plans, delivering tailored status reports at every project phase, presenting clear updates
to internal leaders and external clients
* Partner with the Commercial Manager to evaluate client Change Requests
* Validate operational cost models and tactical timing plans
* Provide accurate data to inform formal commercial quotes issued to clients
About You
We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this
role!
* A confident influencer, you will need to be comfortable and effective communicating and influencing at many levels, with the
ability to build strong, strategic relationships
* Professional Project Management qualification
* Sound financial acumen
* Enjoy working in a team but will be self-motivated and equally comfortable managing your own team, time, and workload
* Experience of Project Managing large and complex projects with multiple workstreams based in various locations around the UK
and an understanding of the complexities that this brings
