We are excited to offer an exceptional opportunity to join NOV as a Project Manager in with our Fiber Glass Systems UK team in Plymouth.

As part of a global company, you will develop professionally and personally by interacting with international customers in technically challenging and diverse projects, from contract award through to installation and close-out.

Establish and maintain relationships with relevant client stakeholders, providing day-to-day contact on project status and changes.

Coordinate internal and external resources to ensure that projects adhere to scope, schedule, and budget.

Identify future opportunities and changes to project scope, working with the Sales team to secure variation orders.

Work with Technical Managers and Engineers to ensure technical compliance and troubleshoot issues.

Work with Procurement and directly with suppliers to manage supply of materials for your projects.

The ideal candidate will:

Demonstrate planning skills, either as a Project Manager or in another role. Project Management certification would be an advantage. 

Have a commercial and financial understanding and experience with budgeting.

Demonstrate IT literacy, with a willingness to learn and adapt to managing data through our ERP system.

Have the ability to understand technical drawings, though internal training will be provided.

The position is based in Plymouth, but we are open for candidates within the UK that are willing to relocate and with current right to work.
