Ready to Step Up into Project Management?

Have you worked as a Project Coordinator, Assistant Project Manager, AV Lead Engineer, Installation Supervisor or Junior Project Manager and are looking for the opportunity to take ownership of your own projects?

Do you enjoy organising people, solving problems, keeping projects moving and making sure clients receive an outstanding service?

If you're looking for a business that will invest in your development, provide real career progression and expose you to some of the UK's most impressive residential technology projects, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join the Client?

The client boasts years of excellence, in delivering award-winning smart home and technology integration projects for private clients, developers, architects, interior designers and contractors across the UK.

Our projects combine cutting‑edge technology with exceptional customer experiences, including:

• Smart home automation
• Audio visual systems
• Home cinema installations
• Intelligent lighting control
• Security and CCTV systems
• Wi‑Fi and network infrastructure
• Access control solutions
• Automated blinds and shading systems

This is an opportunity to join a growing, highly respected business where you'll work alongside experienced technical specialists and develop into a fully‑fledged Project Manager.

What's the Role?

As a Junior Project Manager, you'll support and manage residential technology projects from initial planning through to final handover.

You'll be given responsibility, support and training to help you develop your project management career while working closely with senior project managers and technical teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the delivery of multiple projects simultaneously
• Coordinating engineers, subcontractors and suppliers

• Attending client and site meetings
• Monitoring project progress and reporting updates
• Ensuring materials, equipment and resources are available when needed
• Assisting with budget tracking and cost control
• Maintaining project documentation and records
• Identifying potential project risks and helping resolve issues
• Supporting project commissioning and client handovers
• Building strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders

Who Will Succeed in This Role?

We're less concerned about finding someone who has already managed large projects and more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, organisation skills and desire to progress.

You could currently be working as a:

• Assistant Project Manager
• Project Coordinator
• Junior Project Manager
• AV Installation Team Leader
• AV Engineer looking to transition into project management
• Construction Coordinator

You’ll likely have:

• The confidence to coordinate multiple tasks and deadlines
• A proactive and solutions‑focused mindset
• Good commercial awareness
• Strong Microsoft Office skills
• Experience working within project‑based environments
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites

Experience That Would Be Useful

Any experience in the following sectors would be highly beneficial:

• Audio Visual (AV)
• Smart Home Technology
• Home Automation
• Construction
• Electrical Contracting
• Building Services
• Technology Integration

Knowledge of systems such as Crestron, Lutron, KNX, Control4 or similar technologies would be advantageous, but is by no means essential.

What You’ll Get

Salary up to £52,000 depending on experience

• Structured development into a senior project management career
• Ongoing manufacturer and industry training
• Business travel expenses covered
• Company equipment provided
• Work on high‑end residential and luxury smart home projects
