About Us
LVP Automation is a growing Irish-owned automation and materials handling company. We design and deliver end-to-end solutions for manufacturing and pharmaceutical clients, combining conveyors, robotics, packaging machines and the latest automation technologies.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Projects Manager who can own the full lifecycle of automation projects—from concept through to installation and handover. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on environment, enjoys problem-solving with cross functional teams, and wants the autonomy to make real decisions.
You won’t just “run a schedule”—you’ll be the bridge between clients, engineers, and management, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification in line with the clients scope of supply.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and manage automation projects from planning to commissioning and handover.
* Develop and maintain detailed project plans, budgets, and schedules.
* Act as the primary point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders, providing updates and managing expectations.
* Coordinate multidisciplinary teams (engineers, designers, software developers, procurement) and ensure accountability.
* Coordinate internal and external resources for project success.
* Proactively identify risks and implement mitigation strategies.
* Oversee testing, commissioning, and regulatory documentation (FAT, SAT, IQ, OQ, CE certification, RAMS).
* Deliver post-project reviews and embed lessons learned.
* Uphold the highest standards in Health & Safety and quality compliance.
What We’re Looking For
Education & Experience:
* NFQ Level 7 (or higher) in Engineering (Automation, Electrical, Mechanical, Electromechanical).
* PMP or equivalent project management certification (advantage).
* 5+ years’ experience managing automation or industrial engineering projects.
* Familiarity with PLCs, robotics, SCADA/HMI, Autocad/Solidworks and cGMP environments (advantage).
Technical & Professional Skills:
* Strong project planning, budget management, and scheduling expertise.
* Proficiency in project management tools (MS Project or similar).
* Understanding of automation systems integration and industry standards.
Soft Skills – the Real Differentiator:
* Team Leadership: proven ability to manage & coordinate a multidisciplinary project team (procurement, mechanical and electrical engineers, mechanical designers, software developers, etc.) ensuring clear communication and accountability.
* Influence without authority: skilled at bringing cross-functional teams together in a small-business setting.
* Resilience under pressure: ability to adapt to changing timelines and handle challenges constructively.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
* Highly organised, detail-oriented, and proactive.
Why Join Us
* Autonomy & Impact: In a small company, you’ll have visibility with directors and clients and will shape how projects are delivered.
* Support: You’ll have senior leadership backing to meet project milestones.
* Growth: Expand your expertise in automation and project leadership with training and development opportunities.
* Competitive package: Salary and benefits reflective of experience, with opportunities for progression as the company grows.
* Dynamic environment: A chance to manage diverse, challenging projects in a fast-paced industry.
Next Steps
If you’re a project manager who thrives not just on technical delivery, building excellence, and leading under pressure, we’d like to hear from you.
