Job description

Junior Project Manager - South Yorkshire - Permanent - £40-45k

+++Established systems integrator, exposure to full project lifecycle, clear progression from Junior Project Manager role, strong engineering-led environment+++

Samuel Frank is recruiting for a Junior Project Manager to join a South Yorkshire-based control systems integrator delivering automation and software related projects to end users.

This role is well suited to a Junior Project Manager who wants to build their career within a supplier / integrator environment, managing multiple customer-facing projects, rather than working as a site-based or end-user Junior Project Manager.

Key aspects of the Junior Project Manager position include:

• Exposure to projects from order handover through design, build, FAT, installation and commissioning
• Working alongside an experienced Project Manager who will mentor and support your development
• Good MS Excel skills essential
• Qualified to at least Degree level
• Technical background or qualification beneficial (Electrical, Controls, Automation or Mechanical preferred)
• Junior Project Manager will liaise with internal engineers, subcontractors and external customers
• Supporting project planning, scheduling and resource coordination
• Assisting with project cost control, variations and invoicing
• Producing weekly project updates, status reports and meeting minutes
• Tracking progress across multiple live projects, typical of a systems integrator environment
• Coordinating documentation, project data and financials
• Role will be office based (way easier to learn from your colleagues!) with occasional site visits

The company encourages and supports career development, including progression into a full Project Manager role. You'll be working in a collaborative, engineering-led business with a strong reputation in the automation sector.

The office is commutable from Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley and surrounding areas.
