Project Manager

Project Manager - New Product Introduction Location: South Yorkshire Type: 18 Month Fixed Term Contract Salary: £50,000

Are you a hands-on Project Manager who thrives at the heart of product development?

Elevation Recruitment Group are working with a well-established UK manufacturer with strong heritage and serious investment in innovation, who is looking for someone to lead their New Product Introduction (NPI) projects end-to-end.

What the Project Manager will do:

Reporting to the Programme Manager and working closely with the Head of R&D, you’ll manage NPI projects from initial scope to delivery, compliance, and documentation. Projects span hardware, software, and app development, requiring a compliance-driven, standards-focused approach. You’ll be the glue across R&D, production, supply chain, quality, compliance, commercial, and senior leadership teams.

• Own NPI projects throughout the full product lifecycle
• Manage project schedules in Microsoft Project and provide regular updates to senior leadership
• Identify, monitor, and escalate risks and issues proactively
• Coordinate tasks across cross-functional teams
• Oversee technical documentation and highlight critical technical challenges
• Administer project tasks in JIRA, PLM, QMS, and ERP systems
• Act as the main point of contact for internal teams and external partners

What we’re looking for:

• Project management experience in a technical environment (engineering, electronics, hardware, or technology)
• Comfortable managing physical product development rather than purely digital projects
• High-volume manufacturing or consumer electronics experience is a bonus
• Strong stakeholder management skills - from shop floor to boardroom
• Flexible with methodology: Waterfall, Agile, or Hybrid
• Proficient in Microsoft Project and the wider Office suite
• Proactive, self-motivated, and an excellent communicator

If leading high-impact NPI projects in a growing, innovative business excites you, we want to hear from you!
