Role Purpose

The Junior Project Manager supports the successful end-to-end delivery of work orders across the Beeks estate, working under the guidance of the Head of Projects and experienced project managers. Acting as a coordination and documentation hub between Sales, Engineering, Procurement, Finance and customers, the role keeps delivery moving — maintaining accurate records, capturing meeting minutes and actions, keeping project packs current, and providing responsive, professional customer contact throughout provisioning and onboarding.

This is a development role. The successful candidate will build core project management skills through a structured six‑month programme, progressing from supporting delivery to independently owning standard service orders — all while helping to protect delivery timelines, data accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

Service Order Coordination & Delivery Support

Support the end-to-end lifecycle of service orders under guidance, keeping each order progressing accurately and on schedule.
Triage incoming project tickets in Jira, confirm they are complete before they reach engineers, and return incomplete tickets with clear guidance on what is missing.
Raise installation tickets and coordinate with Smart Hands / Data Centre teams, supporting pre-deployment readiness checks.
Track order status so it is always current and visible, and support post-deployment validation before orders are marked complete.

Documentation, Minutes & Project Packs

Take clear, accurate minutes at meetings and service reviews; capturing decisions, owners and deadlines, and circulate action logs promptly.
Maintain and update project packs so status, actions, risks and key documents remain an accurate single source of truth.
Keep asset and configuration records complete and audit-ready in the relevant platforms (e.g. Nautobot).
Apply documentation and change-management standards consistently.

Resource & Capacity Coordination

Support resource planning , helping coordinate engineers, Smart Hands, hardware and schedules across concurrent work so nothing collides.
Help maintain accurate capacity data and flag utilisation issues to the Head of Projects.
Build awareness of forward capacity needs against the sales pipeline.

Scope & Requirements Support

Help translate customer requirements into a clear Statement of Work with defined acceptance criteria.
Develop a firm understanding of scope of work, what a customer has actually bought versus what they assume, and flag potential scope creep early.

Procurement & Licensing Support

Help translate deployment requirements into procurement requests, specifying quantities, deadlines and delivery addresses.
Quality-check inbound shipments against purchase orders and elevate discrepancies that risk installation timelines.
Track software and platform licensing, supporting timely renewals to avoid service risk.
Provide responsive, professional customer contact throughout provisioning and onboarding, representing Beeks well at all times.
Excel at customer engagement, keep customers informed, manage expectations, and grow into a trusted point of contact.
Keep Sales, Finance and internal stakeholders updated on order status and any risks, with enough notice for them to act.
Support regular service-review touchpoints and maintain a single source of truth on status.
Develop commercial acumen, understanding how delivery decisions affect billing, revenue recognition and profitability.
Notify Finance promptly on deployment completion and validate billing details against the work order.
Support deployment spend tracking and flag budget variances or scope changes.
Engage fully with the structured six-month development programme; actively seek feedback and act on it.
Identify recurring operational snags and suggest practical improvements.
Contribute to runbooks and playbooks as knowledge and confidence build.

Skills & Experience

Highly organised with strong attention to detail; able to manage several priorities at once without losing accuracy.
Excellent written and verbal communication, and a confident, professional manner with customers.
Strong minute-taking, note-taking and documentation skills.
Comfortable with Jira (or a similar ticketing / ITSM tool) and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel for tracking and reporting.
Proactive, reliable and calm under pressure; genuinely keen to learn and act on feedback.
A clear interest in building a career in project management.
Awareness of IT infrastructure, server / network or data centre concepts.
Some exposure to project management principles or methodologies (e.g. Agile, PRINCE2).
Familiarity with asset management or inventory tooling (e.g. Nautobot).
Understanding of ITIL-aligned service delivery and change management.
Basic commercial awareness — how delivery affects billing and revenue recognition.
