Every successful project hinges on great planning, execution, and communication. You’ll be the glue that holds it all together - clearing blockers, keeping teams aligned, and making sure nothing gets missed.

This role is designed for growth. If you show initiative, learn quickly, and help us deliver consistently high-quality results, there’s a clear path to Project Manager and beyond.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with project scheduling and delivery programs
• Supporting client communication - emails, calls, meeting notes, and status updates
• Preparing weekly project reports, tracking progress, and clearing roadblocks
• Managing subcontractors, technical submittals, and material samples
• Ensuring site readiness through surveys and regular visits
• Supporting key project stages: Sales, Production, and Site Handovers
• Helping control project budgets alongside the PM

? What You Bring:

• Strong organisational and communication skills
• A detail-driven mindset with the ability to manage multiple moving parts
• A willingness to learn technical details, materials, and project workflows
• Some experience in construction, architecture, or design delivery (ideal, not essential)
• Confidence to liaise with clients and subcontractors professionally

? What We Offer:

• A structured pathway to career progression
• Training and mentoring from experienced project and design leaders
• Exposure to high-spec projects in a fast-paced environment
• The chance to make a real impact in a growing, ambitious company
