BCW Design & Manufacture operates at the forefront of innovation across aerospace, defence, marine, automotive, and other advanced industries.

This is a hands-on leadership role in which your decisions directly impact project success. You’ll manage budgets, track risks, and maintain detailed milestone-based plans, all while working with high-spec manufacturing processes like welding, machining, and assembly. You’ll have the platform to demonstrate your ability to keep complex, multi-stakeholder engineering programmes running smoothly, on time, and within budget.

What we’re looking for:

• 5+ years’ project management in defence or aerospace manufacturing
• Experience delivering complex engineering projects with welding, machining, and assembly processes
• Strong commercial acumen and cost-control skills
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities
• Proficiency in Microsoft Project, Excel, and the wider MS Office suite
