You will be part of a well-established project management community that provides essential support to ensure the reputation of the AMRC.

Full training and support will be provided for the successful candidate in aligning with an engineering-based organisation. In this varied and dynamic role, you will be responsible for several large projects from concept to completion ensuring that projects are delivered in a timely manner and to budget. You will also be responsible for the allocation of resources and the planning and management of workload. You will be responsible for project risk management, importantly identifying potential risks and managing these throughout the duration of each project. You will be working alongside Project Engineers and Technical Leads, in addition to interacting and working with our industrial partners.

The AMRC focuses on the research, development and application of state-of-the-art technologies. We have an excellent track record of developing technology and integrating it into a shop floor environment to demonstrate financial benefit to partners. This ability to translate technological advances into bottom line savings has led to a large growth in demand from especially its aerospace partners and a growing need for skilled engineers with an interest in manufacturing.
