Assistant Project Manager and Document Controller

Waldeck are an award-winning consultancy with over 25 years’ experience. We work collaboratively with clients to deliver sustainable and innovative solutions across the built environment. In 2018 Waldeck was acquired by leading recruitment firm, Morson Group. As part of the Morson Group family we have the stability and financial backing of a large organisation, with the luxury of operating and collaborating with clients as a smaller, more intimate consultancy.  

We are recruiting for a proactive and detail-oriented Assistant Project Manager & Document Controller to support the successful delivery of our engineering and construction projects. This hybrid role offers the opportunity to contribute to both the strategic coordination of projects and the technical rigor of document control. Based out of our Irlam office, the successful candidate will work on a flexible basis, combining in-office collaboration with remote working as needed to support project requirements.

Within this role your responsibilities will include:

• Assist the Project Manager in day-to-day project coordination, scheduling, and stakeholder communication.
• Support the preparation of project documentation, including reports, meeting minutes, and progress updates.
• Help manage project timelines, deliverables, and budgets, ensuring milestones are met.
• Participate in project meetings, tracking actions and follow-ups to ensure timely completion.
• Communicate with internal teams and external partners to keep projects on track.
• Support with commercial responsibilities, including but not limited to raising payment applications and payment notices.
• Maintain accurate and organised records of all project documentation, drawings, and correspondence.
• Implement and manage document control procedures in accordance with Waldeck and client standards.
• Track document versions, approvals, and distribution to internal and external stakeholders.
• Ensure document compliance with naming conventions, formatting, and quality standards.
• Administer digital document management systems (e.g., Viewpoint for Projects, Asite, ACC).

The above list is not an exhaustive list of responsibilities.

Person Specification:

• Experience in a document control or project support role, ideally within construction, engineering, or consultancy environments.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Strong attention to detail and a process-oriented mindset.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
• Experience with document control platforms (e.g., Aconex, Viewpoint, Autodesk Construction Cloud) preferred.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• A qualification in project management (e.g., APM, PRINCE2, Autodesk Construction Cloud) is an advantage but not essential as training will be given.
• Must be able to work from our Irlam office on a flexible basis.
