A little more about your role…

As an Assistant Project Manager within our Highways and Transport Service in Gloucestershire, you will play a key role in helping us achieve the timeliness and quality we give our client, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC).

In Gloucestershire, we provide highways, bridges, and related services to support their aim of maintaining and improving a safe and efficient highways network. This is a great time to join the local team, as we are at the start of a long-term professional services contract, working in partnership with GCC from their offices in Shire Hall, Gloucester. Our work includes a diverse range of projects, from designing minor drainage improvements to major projects like the £250m M5 Junction 10 infrastructure project.

You will be part of our local Project Management Team, supporting leadership and technical delivery teams with programming, resourcing, and reporting on project delivery. You will liaise with colleagues locally, regionally, and further afield to maintain high standards of project delivery and resource management. Additionally, you will support finance management, milestone reporting, and client feedback for our technical teams.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

• A passion for working on projects that make a real difference to local communities.
• A mature and self-aware approach to health and safety, setting an example for colleagues.
• Project management experience, ideally in a highways or construction-related environment.
• Experience managing project programmes, resource tracking, and financial reporting.
• Confidence in communication, able to convey your point of view and keep stakeholders informed.
• A recognised APM qualification, or equivalent, is advantageous but not essential.
