Assistant Project Manager (Freelance)

Location: Leicestershire
Rate: £300-£350 per day (depending on experience)
Duration: Long-term contract with potential temp-to-perm opportunity

Our client is looking to appoint an Assistant Project Manager to support the delivery of a major water infrastructure project, with the opportunity to progress into a larger project as the business continues to grow.

The initial assignment will be based on a large diameter PE water main project located in Leicestershire. The successful candidate will work alongside an experienced Project Manager, gaining exposure to all aspects of project delivery before progressing into a more senior role on future schemes.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their project management career within the water and civil engineering sector.

• Help manage health, safety, quality and environmental compliance.

• Attend project meetings and contribute to reporting.

• Support project documentation, planning and communication throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements

• Background in civil engineering, utilities or water infrastructure.

• Previous experience in a Site Manager, Site Supervisor, Assistant Project Manager or similar role would be advantageous.

• Good organisational and communication skills.

• A willingness to learn and develop into a Project Manager.

• Full UK driving licence.

What's on Offer

• £300-£350 per day, depending on experience.

• Long-term contract on a project expected to run for over 2.5 years.

• Opportunity to spend 12-18 months on the current scheme before progressing onto a larger project.
