As Project Delivery Manager, you will be responsible for skilfully spearheading various initiatives, from strategic business objectives to design updates. This newly-minted role comes with immense opportunities, as you’ll help shape our client’s project management approach and foster a culture of agile, results-driven excellence within the company.

As the Project Delivery Manager, your responsibilities will include prioritising projects by importance, getting the right people involved, and building key relationships.

As for your background, our client envisages you’ll have worked in design and manufacturing, possibly in a lean manufacturing environment along with appropriate project management qualifications such as APM, PMI, Prince 2.    Our client would also consider candidates who have the project management experience but perhaps have not as yet attained their formal project management qualifications/certifications.

This role is about project delivery, guiding subject matter experts through the project and programme management process to successful delivery.  Therefore you will own the overall project deliverables.

As the Project Delivery Manager, you’ll play a crucial role in leading the team and ensuring the success of the projects – so it’s essential to have excellent motivational skills and an eye for detail. You will be adept at facilitating, coaching and guiding teams to problem solve and get past roadblocks in the project plan.
