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 the County Council, supporting their aim of maintaining and improving a safe and efficient highways network. Now is a great time to join the local team. We are right at the start of a long-term professional services contract, working in partnership with GCC from their offices in Shire Hall, Gloucester. Our work encompasses a diverse range and scale of projects, from designing minor drainage improvements to major projects like the £250m M5 Junction 10 infrastructure project.
You will form part of our local Project Management Team, supporting our local leadership and our technical delivery teams with programming, resourcing and reporting on project delivery. You will liaise with WSP colleagues locally, regionally and further afield to help maintain the high standards of project delivery and resource management. You will support our technical delivery teams with their finance management, reporting of milestones and supporting client feedback.
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 of managing project programmes, resource tracking and financial reporting.
* Evidence of being a confident communicator able to convey your point of view and keep stakeholders and colleagues informed.
* A recognised APM qualification, or equivalent, would be an advantage but not essential.
