This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across high-profile projects while working closely with experienced Project Managers who will support your development into a fully-fledged Project Manager.

- Project planning and delivery
- Commercial management
- Production scheduling
- Site coordination and management
- Client relationships
- Health & safety management
You will learn directly from experienced colleagues while building the skills needed to take ownership of your own projects.

- Strong mathematical and analytical ability
- Commercial awareness and attention to detail
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn
- An interest in construction, heritage, luxury projects or specialist finishes
Experience reading drawings and programmes of work would be beneficial, but not essential.
