Associate Project Manager

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-quality consultancy at a genuinely formative point in your career. The business operates at the intersection of architecture, development and strategic advisory and they're now looking for an Associate who wants more than just a title change. This role is about building a long-term career, with a clear and realistic pathway through to Director level.

The Role
You'll work closely with senior leadership across a range of advisory and delivery-focused projects, supporting clients from early feasibility through to delivery strategy. This is not a back-office Associate position - you'll be exposed to clients early, trusted with responsibility, and encouraged to shape both projects and the wider business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and supporting work streams on mixed-use, residential and commercial projects
• Contributing to development appraisals, feasibility studies and strategic advice
• Preparing high-quality reports and client presentations
• Attending and increasingly leading client meetings
• Playing an active role in mentoring junior staff as the team grows
• Supporting fee proposals, bid submissions and client pitches

Work Winning & Business Development
An important part of this role is helping to grow the business. You won't be expected to arrive with a black book, but you will be encouraged to develop one.
You will be involved in:

• Assisting with bids, proposals and presentations
• Building relationships with existing and new clients
• Identifying opportunities within live projects and networks
• Supporting Partners in developing new service lines and markets
• You'll be expected to take ownership of client relationships and contribute meaningfully to revenue generation, a key part of the journey to Director.

The Opportunity
This is where this role really stands out.
You'll be offered:

• A defined progression route from Associate to Director
• Direct access to Partners and senior decision-makers
• Support with technical, commercial and business development skills
• Opportunities to shape the growth of the business, not just service it

About You

• Background in development, architecture, surveying or real estate advisory
• Commercially aware, with a strong interest in project viability and strategy
• Confident with clients and comfortable in a consultative role
• Interested in business development and work winning, not just delivery
• Looking for a long-term role with influence and progression
