Project Manager

Job Title: Bid & Project Manager

Location: Southampton, UK

Opportunity

A high growth marine technology business is scaling its Solutions division to meet increasing demand for bespoke, grant funded and technically complex projects. This hire is driven by a clear commercial need: more bids to win, more projects to deliver, and greater ownership required across the full lifecycle. This is not a back office project role. It is a front line position where commercial judgement, technical credibility and delivery ownership directly influence revenue, customer confidence and future pipeline.

Impact You Will Have

• Own the full lifecycle from bid shaping through to delivery and invoicing across multiple concurrent projects
• Convert ambiguous customer requirements into commercially viable, technically credible solutions
• Lead multi-party projects including R&D programmes, sea trials and autonomous vessel deployments
• Act as the primary client interface, strengthening relationships and unlocking repeat and follow on work
• Drive delivery performance, balancing technical ambition with margin and contractual outcomes

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently wins and delivers projects that meet both technical and commercial expectations
• Operates with high ownership, taking accountability beyond scope or job title
• Builds credibility quickly with engineers, customers and partners
• Thrives in ambiguity, managing multiple fast moving projects without heavy process
• Brings energy, resilience and a bias for completion in demanding, real world environments

What Is on Offer

• Direct exposure to cutting edge marine electrification and autonomy projects
• A visible role with influence over revenue, customers and strategic delivery
• Real ownership in a low bureaucracy, high trust environment
• The chance to shape how projects are won and delivered as the business scales
• Long term progression within a growing, investor backed technology company

This is a role for individuals already operating at a high level who want greater ownership, visibility and impact.
