A fast-growing British aerospace start-up is developing a new class of lightweight, electrically powered aircraft designed to make personal flight simpler, cleaner and more accessible. With flight testing underway and preparation for series production accelerating, the team is now looking for an experienced Project Manager to help drive the next phase of development.
This is a hands-on role in a small, talented engineering environment where you’ll work across design, build, test and certification activities. You’ll also support bids and proposals as the business expands its commercial footprint.
The Opportunity
You’ll take ownership of cross-functional engineering projects, working closely with engineers, suppliers and technical leads to keep work moving, risks managed and decisions clear. The role suits someone who enjoys structure and delivery but also thrives in a start-up setting where priorities can shift quickly and communication is key.

- Running project reviews, managing risks and issues, and keeping stakeholders informed.
- Working with suppliers and partners to align deliverables and resolve interface challenges.
- Championing continuous improvement as the organisation grows.
