Assistant Project Manager

About the role

Ready for more than just supporting projects? At Singleton Construction, you'll do much more than take notes and update spreadsheets. You'll work alongside experienced Project Managers on major national programmes while also having the opportunity to take ownership of smaller projects yourself. We believe the best way to develop great Project Managers is by giving them real responsibility, with the right support behind them.

Why Singleton?

Singleton Construction delivers nationwide retail and commercial construction programmes for some of America's best-known brands. Our clients trust us because we build strong relationships, solve problems quickly, and deliver projects the right way. The same approach applies to our people. You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas are valued, your development is supported, and your contribution genuinely makes a difference.

Responsibilities

• Assisting with the planning and delivery of construction projects.
• Managing your own smaller projects from pre-construction through closeout.
• Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, and internal teams.
• Supporting budgets, schedules, and project documentation.
• Monitoring project progress and helping resolve issues before they impact delivery.
• Building strong relationships with clients and project partners.
• Supporting contract administration, procurement, and change management.
• Working closely with Superintendents to ensure projects stay on schedule and within budget.
• Helping deliver an exceptional experience for every client.

What success looks like

You'll become someone clients trust and colleagues rely on. You'll confidently manage smaller projects, support larger programmes, keep stakeholders informed, anticipate challenges before they become problems, and consistently deliver projects that meet Singleton's high standards. As your experience grows, so will your opportunities.

Requirements

We're looking for people who enjoy taking ownership, solving problems, and working as part of a team.

• 2-5 years experience within commercial construction, either as an Assistant Project Manager, Project Coordinator, or similar role.
• Strong organisational and planning skills.
• Confidence managing multiple priorities.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive approach and willingness to take ownership.
• The ability to travel to project locations as required.
• Experience delivering retail, commercial, or multi-site construction projects is advantageous, but not essential.

Don't tick every box? That's okay. We're looking for people with potential as well as experience. If you're excited by the opportunity and believe you could make a positive impact, we'd encourage you to apply.

Benefits

• The opportunity to manage your own projects and accelerate your career.
• Exposure to nationally recognised construction programmes.
• A collaborative team that genuinely supports your development.
• Clear progression towards Project Manager and beyond.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• A company where initiative is recognised and great work is rewarded.
