Project Manager - CAPEX
Glasgow | Permanent | Spirits Manufacturing

Our client is a well-established spirits manufacturer in Glasgow and they’re looking for a Projects Manager to lead capital investment projects across their operations, from production right through to bottling and packaging.

This is a big role with a sizeable CapEx budget for you to manage. You’ll own projects from feasibility and business case through to handover, and you’ll help shape the long-term capital plan with senior leadership.

What you’ll be doing

  • Leading end-to-end delivery of capital projects including new builds, upgrades and refurbishments
  • Managing scopes, budgets, timelines and risk registers using structured PM methods
  • Making sure projects meet legislation, including DSEAR, ATEX, building regs and HMRC bonded requirements
  • Working with H&S, Operations, Quality and Maintenance so new equipment and processes bed in smoothly
  • Managing contractors, consultants and equipment suppliers
  • Building annual and long-term capital plans, tracking spend and reporting on ROI
  • Championing energy efficient, low carbon and water efficient design

What we’re looking for

  • Degree level education or equivalent operational experience
  • Proven experience delivering capital projects in a manufacturing or process-driven environment (distilling, FMCG, pharma or food would be ideal, but we’ll consider other process industries too)
  • Strong understanding of project governance, legislation and compliance (e.g. DSEAR, ATEX, HMRC bonded)
  • APM or an equivalent PM qualification
  • NEBOSH, COSHH and HACCP knowledge, plus an understanding of functional safety
  • Strong financial awareness and comfortable building business cases
  • SAP knowledge an advantage
  • Great at influencing across functions and communicating at all levels
