Our story goes back more than 150 years, to the chilly southern coast of Scandinavia. From our early success in Sweden and Denmark, we’ve grown into the world’s leading specialist producer of plant-based oils, employing more than 4,000 people across the globe.
We work with our customers to make the products you love even better. The oils we produce go into making your chocolate extra-creamy or putting the crunch into your croissant. And it’s not just food — we work across industries to make products that are higher quality, healthier and better for the planet.
Everything we do is about Making Better Happen™.
This position is based on site in Hull, United Kingdom.
At AAK Hull, we operate the UK’s largest refinery for edible oils and fats at our King George Dock site and supply ingredients and finished products to businesses in the food manufacturing, baking, foodservice, and retail sectors. We enjoy working closely with customers to co-develop bespoke products in our well-equipped Customer Innovation Centre.
As a Senior Project Manager within AAK’s Engineering team, you will play a key role in delivering major industrial and engineering projects across AAK Europe. You will initially focus on the delivery of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Re-purposing Project at our Hull site, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget and to agreed performance objectives.
In this role, you will lead multidisciplinary project teams and work closely with contractors, suppliers and senior stakeholders across the business. You will be responsible for project controls, budgeting, tendering, risk and change management, as well as supporting projects through construction, commissioning and start-up. The role will also support strategic projects across European sites, requiring mobility based on business needs.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager with a strong background in industrial engineering and CAPEX projects, with the ability to lead complex projects and work effectively across multiple teams and stakeholders.
