Continuing the established relationship between Randstad Digital and Domin, I am pleased to present a Project Manager opportunity that has just come live. This role essentially will suit someone with an Engineering background, who understands technical design, and someone who can manage a number of small and fast-paced projects concurrently.

We are looking for a great project manager to execute projects as part of Domins technical and commercial roadmap for valves. They will deliver a range of projects that develop and certify new products for new markets, new customers and new applications for emerging opportunities. These projects will cover a range of product lifecycles from new concept development and small quantity prototyping through to introducing products for volume production to their production team.

Reporting to the Head of Valve Technology, they will coordinate projects delivered by the Valve Technology Engineering team (consisting of mechanical, electronics, embedded software and test engineers) and coordinate additional resource as needed for project delivery with the Digital, Production, Sales and Marketing teams.

The successful candidate will have full delivery and financial responsibility for a suite of high impact projects, pulling from a defined resource pool and working to a roadmap.

The successful applicant will take responsibility for the planning and delivery of projects running within the Valve Technology team. They will be responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered to budget, within the agreed scope, timeline and whilst meeting the agreed quality metrics. They will be responsible for carrying out weekly and monthly project reporting activities, proactively communicating progress and key performance indicators to internal and external stakeholders throughout project delivery.

They will need to work closely with the technical team to translate technical requirement and scope of work documents into project documentation including plans and budgets.

They will be responsible for managing spend against the budget.

The successful project manager will be responsible for setting up and running a highly effective project rhythm. They will hold contributors to account to ensure work is delivered to plan and that project dependencies are properly identified and managed. They will identify and capture project risks and plan appropriate mitigation activities. They will be responsible for facilitating great technical communication between project contributors. They will need to demonstrate an ability to digest complex engineering topics quickly to allow them to properly represent these issues to other stakeholders, make project decisions based on technical information and effectively communicate these decisions and their impact on project delivery.
