What they need
Assistant Project Manager / Junior Project Manager – Client Side Residential Developer
London & South East |
Competitive salary + benefits
Are you a recently Chartered Project Manager (MRICS or MAPM) looking to make the move from consultancy into a genuine client-side development role?
I’m working with a well-established developer with an impressive track record of delivering major residential and mixed-use regeneration projects across London and the South East.
This is an opportunity to join an established development team and gain exposure to projects from the early stages of development through to delivery, working directly for the client rather than advising from the consultancy side.
The opportunity
As an Assistant Project Manager, you will support the delivery of high-profile residential developments, with particular involvement in:
Enabling works and site preparation
Early-stage design development and coordination
Consultant and stakeholder management
Development and project reporting
Procurement and project strategy
Supporting planning, design and technical workstreams
Working alongside Development, Construction and Project Management teams
Progressing schemes towards construction and delivery
The projects are part of a significant residential and regeneration pipeline, creating new homes and communities across London and the wider South East. The wider business has a long-term focus on placemaking, sustainability and delivering high-quality mixed-use neighbourhoods, working in partnership with public and private sector organisations.
About you
I'm particularly interested in speaking with Project Managers who:
✔ Are newly Chartered – MRICS or MAPM
✔ Have a background within a construction or property consultancy
✔ Have gained some experience working on residential developments
✔ Understand the fundamentals of project management, design and construction
✔ Are keen to move client-side and get closer to the development process
✔ Want broader exposure to development rather than remaining purely delivery-focused
✔ Are commercially aware, proactive and confident working with multiple stakeholders
This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who has reached a natural point in their consultancy career and is looking for the next step into development, with the opportunity to build experience across the full project lifecycle.
Competitive salary + comprehensive benefits package.
