Assistant Project Manager

£45k - £50k per annum
Full-time

Assistant PM/Senior Engineer
Civil Engineering & Structural Works
Kent
£45,000 - £50,000 + package
Permanent, full-time

We're working with a well-regarded civil engineering contractor that delivers complex structural and infrastructure schemes across the South East. They're now looking to appoint an Assistant Project Manager or emerging Project Manager to support the smooth running of key projects from pre-start through to handover.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a motivated individual to step into a client-facing, delivery-focused role where you'll work alongside the senior leadership team to oversee the day-to-day progress of live works.

Key Responsibilities
Project Coordination & Delivery
·Support and develop construction programmes, track progress, and maintain key delivery targets.
·Act as the on-site lead or number two on projects depending on experience, stepping up as the responsible Assistant Project Manager on smaller packages.
·Coordinate subcontractors and suppliers to ensure timely and compliant execution of works.
Client & Stakeholder Liaison
·Represent the company professionally as a key point of contact, working closely with clients, consultants, and third parties.
·Provide regular updates to the Project Manager and wider team, flagging any issues that may affect delivery.
Commercial & Budget Control
·Assist with cost monitoring, progress valuations, and financial reporting, supporting the Project Manager in managing budgets and variations.
·Identify and propose value engineering opportunities as an integral part of the Assistant Project Manager role.
Health, Safety & Quality Assurance
·Uphold safety standards on site and ensure compliance with internal procedures and statutory regulations.
·Carry out site inspections and work with the Project Manager to implement any corrective actions required.

Ideal Background
·Proven experience in civil engineering or structural projects in a role such as Site Engineer, Site Manager, or Assistant Project Manager.
·Strong technical understanding and knowledge of construction sequencing, HSEQ standards, and subcontractor management.
·Ambition to grow into a full Project Manager role in the near future.

This is perfect for someone who's already stepped into an Assistant Project Manager role or a senior engineer looking for their first shot at becoming a Project Manager. You'll gain exposure to end-to-end delivery, work with respected industry professionals, and have real input into the success of each job.
