Assistant Project Manager - Scotland

Freedom’s Scotland business unit is recruiting an Assistant Project Manager to support the delivery of our Large Capital Delivery (LCD) projects across Scotland.

You will help ensure works are completed safely, on time, within budget and to the required quality standards, while maintaining positive relationships with customers, subcontractors and suppliers.

The role will involve supporting projects through development, design, procurement, mobilisation, construction and handover. This is an opportunity for someone with relevant practical experience or an interest in project delivery to develop their technical, commercial and project management skills within a supportive team.

• Support project mobilisation, including coordinating site documentation, materials, plant, equipment and resource requirements.
• Assist with tracking project costs, preparing valuations and maintaining records of changes and additional works.
• Support the maintenance of project registers, including risks, early warnings, compensation events and outstanding actions, with guidance from the Project Manager.
• Attend project and site meetings, prepare progress updates, record actions and follow up with the relevant parties.
• Assist with coordinating design information, approvals and project documentation to support planned delivery dates.
• Support the preparation and collation of quality records, as-built drawings, test results and handover information.
• Develop technical, commercial and project management knowledge through practical experience and support from the wider team.

Requirements

• Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with colleagues, site teams and customers.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word and Outlook.
• A proactive attitude, willingness to learn and an interest in developing a career in project management.
