Description du poste

Kickstart your career in Project Management with Greyfriars’s Apprenticeship programme in Norwich.

Greyfriars Project Management is here to help you deliver with confidence. We are a specialist client-side project and cost management consultancy, partnering with public sector organisations, private developers, and infrastructure bodies to deliver complex, multi-million-pound schemes — on time, on budget, and in line with governance requirements.

Since 2018, we’ve supported local authorities, combined authorities, and private developers on transport, housing, and regeneration projects ranging from £20k to £90m+. Our experienced team brings expertise in civil engineering, building surveying, construction management, and master planning. We provide practical, proactive leadership through every stage of delivery — from early feasibility to final handover — ensuring clarity, control, and compliance at every step.

Why Project Management

Project managers play a vital role in construction; we’re the organisers, problem-solvers, and strategic thinkers who drive a project to completion. It’s a career where no two days are the same and suits people who enjoy variety, responsibility, and working with others.

The projects we deliver become part of the landscape and promote community benefits for years to come. Whether you’re just starting out or building your career, you’ll be able to visit schemes you helped bring to life, knowing you played a key role in making them happen. If you’re curious about construction and want to shape the future of the built environment, we’d love to hear from you.
