Job Description:

Not every Assistant or Intermediate Project Manager has the desire to be pedalling the corporate wheel!

Instead, at this transitional & expressive stage of your early career, if you’re wanting to feel genuinely valued and want to see the tangible impact that YOU are having with your clients, plus being rewarded accordingly, then this opportunity could be for you! Our clients’ business was set up 6 years ago, and since that time it’s carved a perfectly niche reputation within the private London residential market. Now employing 5 staff, they perform traditional duties of Project Management / Quantity Surveying/ Employers Agent including some Development Management.

Privately owned, based in West London, they’re an agile & ‘in touch‘ business, and under careful stewardship they’ve established a robust reputation for delivering high end residential projects as far away as Jersey.

They’re now offering a marvellous opportunity to a competent Assistant level or Intermediate level Project Manager to come and join them. Seeking someone who can take ownership, with qualified MRICS support, or more autonomously, various high end projects. These include a listed property in Belgravia (having a major basement redevelopment) and various other heavy refurbishments at exclusive postcodes across London. Projects typically ranging from £1-5m.

Operating in a niche environment means the successful candidate will need a trained confidence to steady themselves in heavy refurbishment / cut & carve / fit out schemes (JCT) and high-net-worth clients like excellent communication skills too.

Typical duties range from supporting the establishment of project brief and agreement of project execution plan, selection/appointment of consultants/contractors, design and programme management, risk and value management strategies, change management, regular progress reports, project completion audit and management of defects period.

• Full UK working eligibility in UK (our clients cannot support those requiring VISA’s)
• Developing knowledge of the key principles of construction project management.
• Some experience with traditional JCT contracts (if APM level)
• An enthusiastic, proactive and client facing character.
• Excellent numeracy skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work independently as well as part of a team
• Good MS Office skills including Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Outlook

This is a superb opportunity for a confident, organised, young project management professional seeking a rewarding career within an established consultancy environment. If you’re seeking an APC pathway, our client is also fully committed to supporting your journey to Chartership.

Starting salary up to £k basic salary (max) plus our clients can offer a good benefits package too.
