Within our Capital Design and Delivery department, we are looking for a Assistant Project Manager to join our Batch X Delivery team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join our Delivery team based at our Finham office.
As our Assistant Project Manager, you’ll support the Project Managers by taking the lead on delivering your own projects by initially focusing on those that are less complex and lower risk. You’ll drive these projects forward whilst undertaking financial management and managing risk. As well as this, you’ll liaise with the project stakeholders/sponsors, and be able to influence at both mid and senior leadership levels.
This role will give you variety and challenge, with plenty of scope for learning whilst being supported to grow and do more.

It would be beneficial for you to have some exposure to the NEC framework, and hold either APM or Prince 2, however this is not essential.
You’ll have excellent communication and influencing skills and the ability to build successful working relationships with internal and external stakeholders. You’ll drive continuous improvement, with the ability to innovate and anticipate unexpected issues and challenges as they arise.
The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity, and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involve. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care. Is that you?
