Project Office Manager – Engineering & Special Projects (Cambridge)

When projects grow in scale and complexity, the difference is rarely technical — it is how well they are controlled.

This role sits at the centre of that.

You will be supporting a Special Projects team delivering across the UK and Europe, with responsibility for financial tracking, reporting, document control, and operational coordination.

That includes invoicing, applications for payment, KPI reporting, and ensuring project information is accurate and up to date.

You will also support logistics, onboarding, and compliance, meaning you are involved across multiple parts of the business rather than sitting in a narrow admin function.

It suits someone who is organised, commercially aware, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift.

There is real visibility in this role, and it can open up progression into operations, commercial, or project support leadership.

If you want a role where your work directly impacts project delivery, this is worth exploring.

Operations Manager – BMS Projects (UK / Europe)

This is a step into full operational ownership, not just oversight.

You will be leading a Special Projects function delivering BMS projects across the UK and Europe, with responsibility for people, performance, delivery, and commercial outcomes.

That includes managing project managers and engineers, overseeing delivery performance, and ensuring projects are running efficiently and profitably.

You will also play a key role in improving processes, developing the team, and supporting the continued growth of the division.

It is a role that requires strong leadership, commercial awareness, and the ability to balance multiple priorities.

You need to be comfortable making decisions, driving performance, and holding teams accountable.

If you are currently in a senior project or operational role and want to step into a position with broader influence and impact, this is a logical progression.
