The Assistant Project Manager will support the management and delivery of multidisciplinary civil infrastructure design projects, working closely with the Project Manager and technical teams to maintain control of scope, programme, interfaces, risks, changes and project deliverables.
The role requires an individual with existing exposure to project or design management within an engineering consultancy environment, supported by a technical background in utilities, roads or transportation. The successful candidate should be comfortable working across disciplines rather than focusing solely on their original technical specialism.
