Assistant Project Manager (APM)

We are seeking an organised and motivated Assistant Project Manager (APM) to support the successful planning, coordination and delivery of projects from initiation through to completion. This role is suited to someone who can manage competing priorities, communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders and maintain a strong focus on quality, deadlines and budget. You will work closely with the Project Manager and wider project team to ensure activities are coordinated efficiently and project objectives are achieved.


Key responsibilities will include assisting with project plans, schedules, budgets, risk registers and progress reports; coordinating meetings, workshops and project documentation; monitoring milestones, actions, dependencies and deliverables; and maintaining accurate project records. You will support the preparation of updates for internal and external stakeholders, help identify and escalate issues, and contribute to the implementation of appropriate solutions. The role will also involve liaising with suppliers, contractors, consultants and delivery teams, tracking expenditure and resource requirements, and supporting change control, governance and assurance processes. You may be required to assist with procurement, contract administration, quality checks and project close-out activities.


Applicants should have experience supporting projects in a structured environment, with the ability to organise information, follow established processes and work collaboratively across multiple teams. Strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail and confidence using project management and office software are essential. An understanding of project methodologies, risk management, budgeting and reporting would be advantageous, as would experience in a construction, infrastructure, engineering, technology or professional services setting. You should be proactive, dependable and comfortable working independently while knowing when to seek guidance. A relevant qualification or formal training in project management is desirable, and candidates working towards a recognised project management certification are also encouraged to apply.
