LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT


Are you looking to build your project management career within a business delivering vital infrastructure and workplace projects? We're looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join our Property Investment Delivery Team, supporting the successful delivery of a range of property projects across our operational and office estate.

In this role, you'll support Project Managers in delivering refurbishments, fit-outs, and property improvement projects, while also having the opportunity to lead smaller projects independently. You'll help manage budgets, risks, programmes, contractors, and stakeholders, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard.

What you'll be doing:

  • Supporting the planning, coordination, and delivery of property and construction projects.
  • Assisting with project scopes, budgets, schedules, and reporting.
  • Monitoring project performance, costs, risks, and programme milestones.
  • Working with internal stakeholders, consultants, contractors, and suppliers.
  • Supporting procurement activities and contract management.
  • Ensuring compliance with health & safety, CDM regulations, and company standards.
  • Contributing to lessons learned, benefits tracking, and continuous improvement.

 

With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, WFH flexibility available and travel to other sites will be required at times so you’ll need to hold a full U.K driving licence.


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
 

  • Experience or knowledge of property, construction, or facilities-related projects.
  • Understanding of project delivery, risk management, and cost control.
  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • A proactive approach to health, safety, and compliance.
  • Good organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel.


Qualifications:


Essential

  • Full UK driving licence.


Desirable

  • APM membership (or working towards).
  • IOSH qualification or equivalent.
  • Knowledge of the water industry.

If you're a motivated project professional looking to develop your career in a supportive team with opportunities to grow and lead projects, we'd love to hear from you.

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
