About the Role:
A multi-disciplinary company with two decades of experience in the construction industry is seeking a couple of Project Assistants to join their friendly and growing team. Based in north Cardiff, with projects situated at public sites (hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.) across the UK, this company offers a varied working environment where all projects are unique.
As a Project Assistant, your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
* Acting as a point of contact for clients and contractors, handling calls and emails.

While project management experience is desirable, it is not essential for this role.

You will have the opportunity to receive formal training in accredited schemes, such as Prince2 (Foundation, Practitioner), RIBA, and MS Projects, allowing you to grow your knowledge alongside crucial on-the-job project experience and education. You will have excellent exposure from the outset, working closely with colleagues, company directors, and senior client representatives, quickly expanding your knowledge and professional skills within this project management setting.
