We are seeking an organised and proactive Assistant Project Manager to support the successful delivery of projects from initial planning through to completion. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their project management career while gaining experience across a range of activities, stakeholders and delivery environments.

You will contribute to effective communication between internal teams, suppliers, contractors and other stakeholders.
Key responsibilities

- Assist with tracking budgets, costs, risks, issues, dependencies and project changes.
- Prepare progress updates, reports, meeting agendas and minutes for project meetings.
- Coordinate activities across project teams and follow up on agreed actions to ensure deadlines are met.
- Help monitor performance against project plans, identifying potential delays or concerns and escalating these appropriately.
- Assist with procurement, supplier coordination and the management of project information.
- Support project governance, quality assurance and compliance with relevant procedures.
- Contribute to lessons-learned reviews and the continuous improvement of project delivery processes.
About you
You will have experience supporting projects, programmes or operational delivery, ideally within a structured or fast-paced environment. You should be confident managing competing priorities, maintaining accurate records and communicating with people at different levels. Experience with project management tools and Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word and PowerPoint, would be advantageous.
We are looking for someone who is dependable, detail-focused and comfortable taking initiative. Strong organisational, problem-solving and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to work collaboratively and respond positively to changing requirements. A relevant qualification in project management, business or a related discipline is desirable, although practical experience and enthusiasm for developing your career will also be valued.
