KO2 has 25 years of experience recruiting for senior roles like programme manager for electronics embedded systems businesses. We have placed managers throughout the software and product life cycle, from positions ranging from technical project lead to software and hardware project managers.
Our unique understanding of the requirements of management roles in the electronics embedded systems industry means that we are the best choice for an engineering recruitment partner who can find the most talented candidates that fit the company’s culture and share the same values and aspirations.
After working in a specific industry sector for such a long time, we understand the need to hire programme managers who have specialist knowledge of their area of expertise. We have previously worked with formerly trained technical project managers and engineers who have programme manager qualifications, and are confident in finding opportunities with this level of responsibility.
The role of programme manager isn’t exclusive to the engineering industry, so if you want to be a programme manager for an engineering business you don’t necessarily need a degree in this area. The role requires extensive knowledge of how to manage people, guide teams and successfully lead projects, so many programme managers have undergraduate or postgraduate degrees in business administration. Some may also have completed additional qualifications in business management and have a lot of experience in managing people and projects.
According to data from Reed, whilst the average annual salary for a programme manager in the UK is £78,477, the top end of this average range is £93,518. The level of responsibility and experience required means that this is a very well-paying role, with the potential to earn over £100,000 annually if you’re successful.
A technical program manager is responsible for overseeing the delivery of a technical program of work provided by an engineering or tech company. The role carries a lot of responsibility and you will be held accountable for the success of the program, which can be stressful at times if you have to overcome challenges or navigate setbacks. It is a job that has the potential for stress, but also is very rewarding and an excellent career move for experienced engineers.
If you’re searching for an engineering programme manager role, we would love to speak to you and find out more about what you’re looking for.
