Job description

Experience & Qualifications Essential Previous experience within the construction, civil engineering, utility, water, or infrastructure sectors. Experience in a Site Engineer, Senior Engineer, or similar project delivery role. Good understanding of construction processes, site operations, and project delivery. Strong organisational and communication skills. Computer literate with proficiency in Microsoft Office. Full UK Driving Licence.

Purpose of the Role We are seeking an ambitious and driven individual with a background in civil engineering, utilities, construction supervision, or site engineering who is looking to develop a long-term career in project management. Working within our Yorkshire Water framework contracts, the Assistant Project Manager will support the successful delivery of clean water, wastewater, network, and infrastructure projects from inception through to completion. This role is ideal for a Site Engineer, Senior Engineer, or other construction professional with hands-on delivery experience who wishes to transition into project management and progress towards managing their own projects in the future. The successful candidate will gain exposure to commercial management, planning, client liaison, programme delivery, health and safety, and contract administration while working alongside experienced Project Managers. This wording focuses the role more clearly on candidates with an engineering or construction delivery background who are looking to take their first step into project management, rather than experienced supervisors or site managers.
