Job Description
Project Manager
Location: Southampton – hybrid, 3 days per week on-site
Salary: £45-60K plus excellent benefits package
About the Opportunity
Join a fast-growing maritime technology business at the forefront of sustainable shipping, developing innovative wind-assisted propulsion systems that help commercial vessels reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
This is not a traditional project management role focused mainly on reporting or governance. It is a delivery-focused opportunity for a Project Manager who can help drive projects from concept through to installation and operation, while keeping activity moving across engineering, procurement, manufacturing suppliers, shipyards, and customers.
Key Requirements
• Relevant experience in project delivery, engineering, manufacturing, marine, industrial, operations, or a similar technical environment
• Strong technical understanding and the ability to work credibly with engineering teams
• Good stakeholder management and strong relationship-building skills
• Proven ability to help deliver projects on time and on budget
• Strong evidence of ownership, problem solving, and delivery
• Highly proactive and comfortable operating in ambiguity
• Able to turn discussions into clear actions and follow issues through to resolution
• Shipping knowledge would be a strong advantage
Role & Responsibilities
• Coordinate delivery across engineering, procurement, manufacturing suppliers, shipyards, and customers
• Help ensure projects keep moving when no single function owns the whole problem
• Build practical project plans, timelines, budgets, and progress updates
• Identify risks and blockers early, and coordinate resolution
• Maintain momentum and help ensure delivery is on time and on budget
• Support continuous improvement in how projects are delivered as the business grows
Why Join?
A superb opportunity to work on real-world clean technology with genuine ownership, broad exposure across engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and deployment, and the chance to grow into senior project delivery or programme leadership as the company scales.
