Overview

Shape the places that matter. Build your future with AtkinsRéalis.

At AtkinsRéalis, we're redefining how projects are delivered across the built environment—bringing together deep technical expertise, digital innovation, and a genuinely collaborative culture. Our Project & Programme Management team in Buildings & Places is at the heart of some of the UK's most high-profile and complex developments.

We're looking for a high-performing Assistant Project Manager to join our London team—someone currently operating within a consultancy environment and ready to take the next step in their career, working on major, multi-disciplinary property schemes.

The Opportunity

You'll join a growing and ambitious team delivering a diverse portfolio of projects across sectors such as commercial real estate, education, public sector, heritage, and mixed-use developments.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced consultancy environment—comfortable working with clients, consultants, and contractors, and keen to build their profile through hands-on project delivery and increasing responsibility.

Your role

  • Supporting the delivery of projects from inception through to completion across a range of property sectors
  • Assisting in managing project governance, programme, cost, risk, and change control frameworks
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary teams, ensuring collaboration and clear communication across stakeholders
  • Supporting client engagement—attending meetings, preparing reports, and contributing to key project decisions
  • Monitoring project performance against KPIs, identifying risks and opportunities early
  • Supporting procurement activities, tender processes, and contract administration (e.g. JCT)
  • Contributing to high-quality project documentation, including reports, programmes, and briefing papers
  • Building strong working relationships with internal teams and external partners
