Project Leader – Bespoke Vehicle Manufacturing
Coachbuilt GB Ltd – Nuneaton, Warwickshire
Build Something That Changes Lives
Coachbuilt GB Ltd is the UK's and Europe's leading manufacturer of truly bespoke accessible motorhomes, caravans and everyday vehicles. We specialise in creating life-changing vehicles for wheelchair users, enabling our clients to enjoy independent travel, holidays and everyday life without compromise.
Every vehicle we manufacture is individually designed around our client's exact needs. No two projects are ever the same, making this an exciting and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, craftsmanship and problem-solving.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Project Leader to join our growing manufacturing team.
The Role
As a Project Leader, you will take ownership of your own bespoke vehicle build from concept through to completion.
Working alongside our Design and Operations teams, you will be responsible for translating detailed designs into exceptional finished vehicles, ensuring every project meets the highest standards of craftsmanship, safety and quality whilst being delivered on time.
This is far more than a production role—every project is unique and requires planning, innovation and attention to detail.
Our Ethos
Right Quality. Right On Time. Teamwork.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the manufacture and adaptation of your allocated bespoke vehicle from start to finish.
Plan and organise each stage of the build to achieve production targets without compromising quality.
Produce work to an exceptional standard of finish and craftsmanship.
Manage your own time effectively and accurately complete production worksheets.
Provide daily progress updates on works completed.
Work closely with our Design Engineer to ensure every customer requirement is accurately translated into the finished vehicle.
Ensure all work complies with relevant industry standards and manufacturer requirements, including IVA, NCC, AWS and vehicle manufacturer guidelines (full training provided).
Maintain a clean, safe and organised working environment.
Report parts requirements, stock shortages and quality concerns to the Operations Manager.
Contribute positively to continuous improvement and support fellow team members when required.
About You
We are looking for someone who takes genuine pride in their work and enjoys creating something exceptional.
You will ideally have:
Experience in bench joinery, cabinet making, carpentry or other woodworking trades.
Excellent practical skills and the ability to adapt to new manufacturing techniques.
A keen eye for detail with a strong appreciation for quality and aesthetics.
The ability to read drawings and translate them into high-quality finished work.
Strong problem-solving skills and the confidence to identify practical solutions.
Good communication skills, both written and verbal.
The ability to work independently whilst also being an active and supportive member of the team.
A willingness to ask questions, learn new skills and continually improve.
What We Offer
Work on genuinely unique, one-off projects.
Comprehensive training in specialist accessible vehicle manufacturing.
Opportunity to develop a wide range of practical and technical skills.
Production bonus scheme.
Friendly and supportive team environment.
The satisfaction of building vehicles that genuinely change people's lives.
If you're passionate about craftsmanship, enjoy solving problems and want your work to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
