Are you highly organised, commercially aware and confident coordinating several projects at once?
We are looking for a proactive Assistant Project Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day delivery of our commercial washroom fit-out projects. This is a varied role where you will coordinate customers, suppliers, installation teams and internal departments to ensure every project is delivered safely, accurately and on time.

About us

The role
You will coordinate commercial washroom fit-out projects from order confirmation through to installation, snagging and final handover.
You will act as the central point of communication between customers, site teams, suppliers, subcontractors and colleagues across sales, warehouse, finance and operations. You will be responsible for maintaining clear project plans, ensuring materials and labour are available when required, and resolving issues before they affect delivery.

- Preparing progress reports for customers and the management team
- Attending sites when required to review progress, resolve issues and monitor quality
- Coordinating snagging, final inspections, customer sign-off and project handover
- Maintaining accurate project logs, installation records, warranty information and other compliance documents
- Ensuring project activities comply with health and safety requirements, internal procedures and relevant quality standards
- Building effective working relationships with customers, suppliers and installation partners
What we’re looking for
- Experience coordinating construction, commercial interiors, installations or fit-out projects
- Strong organisational and time-management skills
- The ability to manage several live projects without losing control of the detail
- A proactive approach to identifying and resolving problems
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Confidence communicating with customers, site managers, contractors and suppliers
- The ability to remain calm and effective when priorities change
- Good commercial awareness, including an understanding of project costs and deadlines

- Commercial washrooms, bathrooms or accessible environments
- Construction or interior fit-out projects
- Reading drawings, specifications or project programmes
- Building regulations and construction health and safety requirements
- RAMS and site compliance documentation
