About the opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Project Manager to join our client-facing team within our Non-Nuclear Engineering Partner Framework (NNEP).
The project itself involves delivering the design phase of a large-scale, multiphase explosives facility.
The successful candidate must be a confident, self-motivating individual, with a willingness to develop further within the role, enabling them to take on increasing levels of responsibility. The project environment is highly dynamic, and on this basis the candidate must be adaptable, resilient, and capable of prioritising competing tasks to ensure overarching project needs are met. They will be methodical and well organised, with the ability to capture actions, document decisions, and monitor outcomes.
Given the diverse range of stakeholders involved, the successful candidate must also have the ability to network autonomously. Working closely with technical discipline leads, they will ensure overarching adherence to schedule by driving project cadence and coordinating the generation, review and submission of project deliverables.
As this is a client-facing position, with some cross-business coordination of activities, professional integrity and strong interpersonal skills are vital.
-
Experience working within a project support role (preferably within an engineering or technical context).
-
Experience acting in a Client- or customer-facing role.
-
Ability to be proactive and to act with autonomy.
-
Ability to maintain perspective in a dynamic environment, to prioritise personal workloads, and ensure due diligence is observed.
-
Ability to drive project cadence, coordinate a diverse range of technical stakeholders, and ensure delivery excellence is achieved.
-
Ability to maintain professional integrity, build relationship, and demonstrate strong interpersonal skills.
-
Awareness of standard project management methodologies (waterfall, agile, lean, etc.).
-
A Level 4/5 Higher Certification or Diploma in either an appropriate science, engineering or management subject (or equivalent experience).
Any offer of employment will be strictly subject to the relevant security requirements for the role being met. This means that you will need to have, or be able to obtain, Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) clearance and either Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. The security clearance process may require non-British nationals or dual nationals (i.e. those with British and another nationality) to be subject to additional evaluation, depending on nationalities held and the nature of the work to be carried out.
