Summary

Assistant Project Manager - Commercial Office Fit-Out

Location: Salford / Sites across Manchester

Salary: £30,000 - £45,000 DOE

Working: Office & site based, with 1 day WFH

Start: ASAP - ideally by 28 September 2026

The Opportunity

Our client, a successful commercial fit-out business based in Salford, is looking for an ambitious

Assistant Project Manager / Junior Project Manager to join their team.

This is an ideal opportunity for a

Junior/Assistant QS with around 2 years' post-graduate experience who is ready to take the next step into Project Management.

You'll work closely with a Senior Project Manager on larger

CAT A and CAT B office fit-out projects, whilst being given the opportunity to take ownership of your own smaller projects. It's a genuine career progression role, designed to develop you into a Project Manager and ultimately a Senior PM over the long term.

Key Responsibilities

• Support Senior PMs in delivering larger commercial office fit-out projects.

• Manage smaller projects independently, typically

£10K-£100K in value.

• Coordinate subcontractors, suppliers, consultants and clients.

• Attend sites across Manchester and monitor progress, quality and programme.

• Assist with project budgets, valuations, variations and procurement.

• Attend client meetings and provide project updates.

• Help identify and resolve project issues and risks.

• Coordinate design information and ensure projects are delivered safely and to programme.

• Build strong relationships with Estates, Landlords and other key stakeholders.

About You

You'll ideally have:

• Around

2 years' post-graduate construction experience.

• Commercial office fit-out experience, particularly

CAT A/CAT B.

• Previous experience working on site.

• Strong commercial awareness and communication skills.

• The ambition to move into Project Management and progress into more senior roles.

Why This Role?

This is more than just an Assistant PM position. It's a chance for a

young construction professional to broaden their experience, get involved in live projects and develop the operational and client-facing skills needed to become a successful Project Manager.

You'll have the support of experienced Senior PMs but will also be trusted with your own projects from day one, giving you a clear route towards

Project Manager and Senior Project Manager positions.

Interviewing immediately - two-stage process.

If you're ready to make the move from QS into Project Management, this could be an excellent next step in your career.
