The role
 

As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll be at the heart of ensuring our projects are executed to the highest standards, in line with our Business Management System. You’ll support various project management activities, maintain rigorous health and safety standards, and oversee environmental protection measures. Working closely with the Project Delivery Manager, you’ll identify training needs and contribute to the safe, efficient, and profitable completion of projects. You’ll also handle budgetary control, client communication, and coordinate fieldwork, vessel operations, and resource utilization, all while adhering to our company processes and signing authority levels.
 

You’ll collaborate with a range of technical experts and support functions to ensure we have the right support mechanisms and specialist knowledge for effective project delivery. You’ll coordinate and work with internal stakeholders, using an issue escalation route via the Project Delivery Manager, Project Directors, and Service Line Directors when necessary. This teamwork ensures that all projects are delivered efficiently, maintaining high standards and achieving our project goals.
 

You’ll have functional responsibility over project teams when on assignment. You’ll plan, organize, control, and lead these teams to achieve an optimal balance between cost, time, quality, benefit, and risk. You’ll develop project documentation, lead risk management processes, monitor project budgets and schedules, and ensure effective communication of project progress and issues with clients, internal partners, and sub-contractors. This comprehensive approach will ensure all aspects of project management are covered, leading to successful project outcomes.

This certification demonstrates a solid understanding of project management principles and practices, which is crucial for maintaining the high standards we expect in our projects.
