About the Role
The Assistant Construction Technical Project Manager will support the delivery of WEPCo’s education projects by assisting in the monitoring of design and construction activities to ensure they meet the requirements set out in the Project Agreement, associated schedules and Design and Build Contact. Working closely with the Technical Project Manager, you will help oversee construction progress, design development, programme performance, quality assurance, safety compliance and stakeholder engagement. A key focus of the role will be supporting the development of Cardiff and Vale College’s new campuses at Barry Waterfront and Cardiff Airport, ensuring these facilities are delivered to a high standard and are fully prepared for operational handover. Alongside this, you will provide support across a small number of other construction projects, helping ensure consistent quality, risk management and efficient project delivery throughout both the construction and early operational phases.
About You
This is an excellent opportunity for someone motivated by improving building performance, supporting collaborative partnerships, and contributing to the delivery of high‑quality learning environments across Wales.
You will be a motivated and organised individual with onsite project management experience in design, construction or technical project delivery, ideally gained in the development of social infrastructure or similar complex projects. You bring a solid understanding of building fabric construction processes and health and safety regulations, including CDM, and are confident engaging with D&B contractors, FM providers, advisors and public sector stakeholders. You are analytical, proactive and able to work across multiple workstreams, with strong skills in problem‑solving, planning, risk management, budget tracking, reporting and relationship management.
You will be educated to degree level with at least 18 months experience in built environment/construction, along with project management expertise.
