FutureMotiv is seeking a Project Manager to support the delivery of complex engineering programmes across a diverse range of technology-led zero emission industries.
Working alongside a Senior Programme Manager, the successful candidate will provide the day-to-day project control, coordination and reporting activities required to ensure programmes are delivered safely, efficiently and profitably. This role combines traditional project management disciplines with engineering deliverables tracking, commercial support and the application
of digital tools to improve programme visibility and efficiency.
The successful candidate will support a diverse portfolio of engineering programmes ranging from electrification and hydrogen technologies through to prototype development, industrial innovation and collaboratively funded R&D projects. No two programmes are the same, requiring an individual who enjoys working across different technologies, customers and engineering disciplines.
The role is hybrid, based between our Warwick office and customer locations, typically requiring two to three days per week on-site as programme requirements dictate.
