Description:
Assistant Project Manager – Mechanical / Ductwork & Ventilation
Location: Central London
Salary: £30,000 – £60,000 DOE
Employment: Permanent
Projects: £4m – £25m+
Start: ASAP
Avolon M&E are working with an established specialist mechanical contractor looking to appoint an Assistant Project Manager to join their growing project team in London.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a background in ductwork, ventilation and mechanical building services who is looking to develop their project management career and progress towards a Project Manager position.
The Projects
The company delivers major mechanical packages across London, with projects ranging from approximately £4m–£5m through to £25m+.
Their work includes projects delivered in partnership with major contractors, as well as larger schemes where they take greater responsibility for design coordination, procurement, materials, plant and overall project delivery.
Projects typically run for 14–16 months, with larger schemes lasting up to 2.5 years. You will generally be based on a specific project for its duration rather than moving continuously between multiple sites.
The Role
Working alongside an experienced Project Manager, you will assist with the day-to-day management and delivery of mechanical packages.
Responsibilities will include:
* Supporting the Project Manager with overall project delivery
* Coordinating ductwork and ventilation installations
* Assisting with procurement of plant, materials and equipment
* Liaising with site teams, subcontractors and suppliers
* Monitoring programme and progress
* Reviewing drawings and technical information
* Supporting design coordination
* Attending project and progress meetings
* Assisting with quality, health & safety and project documentation
* Helping manage projects through installation, commissioning and handover
What We're Looking For
We are particularly interested in candidates who have:
* Experience within ductwork and ventilation
* A mechanical/building services background
* Experience working on commercial construction projects
* Previous experience as an Assistant Project Manager, Project Engineer, Mechanical Supervisor or similar
* A good understanding of mechanical installations and project delivery
* The ambition to develop into a Project Manager
* Strong communication and organisational skills
Please note: This is a London-based position and applicants must be able to commit to working on site in Central London five days per week.
Candidates whose experience is predominantly limited to AC units without wider ductwork/ventilation exposure are unlikely to be suitable.
Salary & Progression
Salaries range from approximately £30,000 to £60,000 depending on experience.
The upper end of the salary range is intended for experienced Assistant Project Managers who are approaching the level required to progress into a full Project Manager position.
The company's head office is based on the South Coast; however, London-based employees are generally only required to attend head office for initial onboarding and occasional company meetings.
This is a strong opportunity to join a business delivering substantial, long-term London projects with a genuine route into Project Management
