Gibson Technology is globally recognised for engineering excellence in designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance engines and powertrain systems for world-leading race series. Renowned for our LMP2 powertrains, we’ve been delivering cutting-edge engineering solutions that push the limits of performance for over 40 years. Our achievements can be attributed to our highly skilled and committed workforce consistently delivering excellence and innovation at the highest level of motorsport.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Project Manager ideally from the Motorsports industry to lead on new projects. The Project Manager will be responsible for managing the planning, execution, and successful delivery of engineering-focused projects. The role involves coordinating cross-functional teams, ensuring project objectives are met on time and within budget, and maintaining alignment with organisational goals. Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills are essential to drive collaboration and manage stakeholders effectively.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Head of Engineering & Projects your responsibilities will include but not limited to:

  • Plan, coordinate and manage projects from initiation to completion, defining scope, objectives, budgets, timelines and risk mitigation to ensure successful delivery.
  • Lead and motivate cross-functional teams, working closely with technical leads to drive collaboration, accountability and the successful achievement of project objectives.
  • Oversee project delivery by monitoring progress, performance, budgets and schedules, proactively resolving issues to keep projects on track.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and stakeholders, providing clear communication, regular updates and effective management of expectations.
  • Coordinate and optimise the use of people, tools, materials and external suppliers to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and effectively.
  • Ensure projects are completed to the required quality, on time and within scope, capturing lessons learned and completing all project close-out activities.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
