Assistant Project Manager

We are seeking an organised and motivated Assistant Project Manager to support the successful planning, coordination, and delivery of projects from initiation through to completion. Working closely with project managers, internal teams, contractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders, you will help ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality and safety standards. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their project management career in a collaborative and delivery-focused environment.


Your responsibilities will include assisting with project plans, schedules, budgets, risk registers, procurement activities, and progress reports. You will coordinate meetings, prepare agendas and minutes, monitor actions, and maintain accurate project documentation. You will also track milestones, costs, resources, and performance against agreed objectives, escalating issues and potential delays where appropriate. Supporting the preparation of project updates for stakeholders, coordinating suppliers and contractors, and helping to manage changes, variations, and approvals will form an important part of the role. You may also contribute to quality assurance, health and safety compliance, and lessons-learned reviews.


The successful candidate will have experience supporting projects, programmes, or operational initiatives, ideally within construction, engineering, property, technology, infrastructure, or a similar environment. You should be highly organised, commercially aware, and confident managing competing priorities and deadlines. Strong communication, coordination, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills are essential, together with excellent attention to detail. Familiarity with project management methodologies, scheduling tools, risk and issue management, and Microsoft Office or comparable software would be advantageous. A relevant qualification in project management, business, engineering, construction, or a related discipline is desirable, although practical experience and a willingness to learn will also be valued.
