Technical Project Manager

This is an exciting and broad-ranging role where you will be deployed across a range of activities. For custom customer projects, you will follow the order fulfilment process, supporting the initial enquiry and then leading the project through the design, build and test phases before supporting the on-site installation.

 

For product development and new projects, you will be responsible for all aspects of a product lifecycle as defined by the Development Gate Process.  This includes initial discussion of the market requirement, evaluation of technology options with the R&D team, the product specification, design, legislative compliance issues and the transition to manufacture with the assistance of other departmental heads.

 

To be successful in this role you will need extensive experience in product or equipment design, ideally within a complex manufacturing environment, together with previous experience of project management.  You will have experience of managing the full lifecycle of a product from concept design to being accepted by a customer. It would be ideal if you have experience of working with magnetics, cryogenic systems and resource management. Your ability to spot risks within a project and mitigate those is essential, as well as being diligent in planning and administering a project.  Your passion for technology, ability to understand complex scientific instruments and resilient nature will contribute to your success in this position.  A relevant degree in engineering and a project management qualification would also be desirable.
