Growing Consultancy looking for Assistant Project Managers to join their team in Birmingham This isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about finding people who care about delivering great work, building strong relationships, and developing their careers in a supportive consultancy environment.

You’ll get to work on a mix of exciting construction projects, helping to deliver them on time, on budget, and to a high standard. Depending on your experience, you’ll either take ownership of smaller projects or play a key supporting role on larger schemes — always with the support of a team that’s got your back.

This is a practice that sits at around 70 employees at the moment but has big ambitions to grown both the office footprint from three to 10 and employees to around 300 hundred. Great opportunity to join a very well established but growing consultancy. Birmingham is run by a director who has come through the ranks of the one of the big multinationals. He brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the role and is growing what will be a powerhouse of a office.

• Progressing towards (or already holding) membership of RICS, CIOB, APM, or similar
• A natural communicator who enjoys working with others and building trust
• Someone who can keep projects moving — even when things get busy
• Detail-focused, proactive, and always looking to improve
• Confident using common project and office software

What you’ll get in return

• A real opportunity to grow — professionally and personally
• A variety of projects across sectors with well-known clients
• Flexibility where possible (we trust people to manage their time)
• Support towards chartership and ongoing development
• A genuinely friendly and down-to-earth team culture
• Competitive salary, benefits and progression opportunities

For me when I am recruiting an assistant level / PM role it’s what can the business offer you to progress ? Can they give you expose to projects ? Have they got a plan for you to move upwards ? Have they got an overall growth strategy so you don’t hit a ceiling ?

If your currently have all of these in place then good, if you haven’t, I would have find out more on this one.
