Senior Project Manager – Engineering & Clean Technology Projects

We’re looking for an experienced and adaptable project manager to lead a range of engineering initiatives within a growing organisation focused on clean technology solutions. This is a hands-on delivery role that involves managing technical projects from early development through to implementation, working closely with cross-functional teams in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

About the Role

As Senior Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of multiple concurrent projects, guiding them from concept to completion. You’ll coordinate cross-disciplinary teams, maintain oversight of budgets and timelines, and ensure effective communication across stakeholders. This role also offers the opportunity to shape project delivery practices and mentor junior team members within an expanding and ambitious company.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and manage complex engineering projects through structured development stages

Coordinate activities across mechanical, electrical, and software teams

Track and manage project schedules, budgets, risks, and resources

Communicate progress clearly to stakeholders at all levels

Maintain key project documentation, including risk registers and schedules

Promote continuous improvement and lean project delivery principles

Support and mentor junior project managers

What We’re Looking For

Proven track record managing technical projects in an engineering environment (e.g. hydrogen, fuel cells, chemical/process engineering)

Strong understanding of structured product development processes

Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Adaptable, detail-oriented, and highly organised

Proficiency in Microsoft Project or equivalent project management software

Qualifications

Degree in an engineering discipline or equivalent technical background

Project management certification (e.g. APM PMQ, PMBP, PRINCE II) preferred

If you’re ready to take the lead on technically challenging projects in a purpose-driven organisation, we encourage you to apply

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

Why Semiconductor Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to advanced computing to automotive systems. The UK semiconductor industry is expanding amid renewed global interest in chip sovereignty and lithography innovation. But the demands on professionals in semiconductor roles are shifting too. Today, semiconductor careers are no longer limited to clean-room engineers or circuit layout designers. Because chips affect data privacy, critical infrastructure, supply security and performance constraints, careers in this sphere are becoming deeply multidisciplinary. Knowledge in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design is increasingly relevant to semiconductor engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why semiconductor careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with semiconductor work, and what job-seekers & employers can do to adapt.

Semiconductor Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Semiconductor Department

The semiconductor industry underpins nearly all modern electronics—from smartphones and servers to sensors, automotive control systems, artificial intelligence accelerators, and more. In the UK it plays a growing role in chip design, MEMS, optoelectronics, and foundry services. Building performant, reliable, competitive semiconductor products requires tightly coordinated teams that span design, fabrication, testing, packaging, yield engineering, reliability, verification, quality, and supply chain. If you’re applying for semiconductor roles via SemiconductorJobs.co.uk or building a semiconductor team, this guide will help you understand the typical roles, how they collaborate across the product lifecycle, what skills UK employers expect, salary expectations, common challenges, and how to structure teams to succeed.
