8:00am – 5:00pm
We’re working with a well-established contractor in the street lighting and highways space who are looking to bring in an Assistant Project Manager. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to step up and develop into a full Project Manager over time. Based full-time at the Bedford office, with occasional travel to surrounding areas as needed.
You’ll be working closely with a small, experienced team of two Project Managers, getting hands-on exposure to live projects, and learning the ropes properly rather than being thrown in at the deep end.
The role:
* Supporting the delivery of street lighting and highways projects
* Assisting with planning, coordination, and day-to-day project activity
* Liaising with clients, subcontractors, and internal teams
* Helping ensure works are delivered safely on time and within budget
What they’re looking for:
* Some experience within highways, street lighting, or civil engineering
* A highways qualification or relevant experience would be ideal
* Someone from an electrical or groundworks background would suit this well
* Previous experience as an assistant project manager or a similar role
* Ambitious, organised, and keen to progress into a Project Manager role
* Can easily commute to Bedford and surrounding areas when required
Why apply?
* Clear progression into a Project Manager position
* Stable workload with long-term clients
* Growing business with a strong pipeline of work
