Research and development is one of the most exciting but challenging departments of any engineering company, and a project manager not only needs to have knowledge of their sector to drive the progress of this team forward, but also the skills to successfully manage and motivate a group of engineers and developers. Whether you’re looking for a contract project manger opportunity on a specific project or want to be a permanent addition to a team, we’re the right recruitment agency for you.
At KO2, we have been recruiting for project manager roles for electronics and embedded systems businesses for 25 years, and are the best choice for clients who are looking for a specialist recruitment partner that understands their industry sector better than any other competitor. Not only can you trust our successful recruitment process, but you can also rely on our unique knowledge of electronics and embedded systems engineering to ensure that you’re only sent opportunities that align with your aspirations and values.
Our previous candidates for R&D project manager jobs have been placed in medical, commercial, automotive, defence, energy and IoT projects. It’s a role that requires a high level of skill and specialist understanding of an area of engineering as well as the innovation to develop new ideas, products and systems, and we’ve got the necessary experience to ensure all of our candidates are placed successfully.
The UK’s ‘Golden Triangle’ is known as one of the best places in the country for research and development jobs, according to PF Media. London, Cambridge and Oxford make up this triangle of locations, all of which are thriving locations for R&D activity, with plenty of startups and established companies regularly hiring for new roles.
If you have experience working as an R&D project manager then you will be able to go into project manager roles in other industry sectors, as you’ll have the management experience to adapt to new projects and teams. If you want to continue working in R&D but not as a project manager, you could move to an R&D assistant, R&D engineer, R&D scientist or R&D technician.
According to data from Indeed, the average annual salary for a development project manager in the UK is £47,029. Further data from this website reveals that the highest paying cities to work in a development project manager role are Birmingham, Leicester, London and Reading, where you are likely to earn more than this average in the role.
