The Role

You'll have end-to-end responsibility for a specific build programme, ensuring every vehicle is delivered to exacting standards, on time and to agreed specification.

Strong project leadership skills with a quality-first mindset

*

Solid understanding of automotive systems (modern and/or classic)

*

Confident managing budgets, suppliers, and internal resources

Highly organised, calm under pressure, and detail-focused

Comfortable working with drawings, specifications, and technical documentation

A natural leader who sets high standards and expects the same from others
