Frimley Park Hospital is being reimagined as part of one of the UK's most ambitious healthcare projects. This isn't just a rebuild -- it's a revolution in care, sustainability, and innovation.
We're creating a digitally enabled, future-proof hospital that puts patients and staff first, with cutting-edge facilities, green spaces, and flexible design.
We are seeking two Assistant Project Managers to join the Design & Construction workstream for the New FPH Programme. Each role plays a vital part in supporting major capital projects for the new hospital and wider estate.
Assistant Project Manager (Portfolio Works)
Support capital projects outside the new hospital, including the Heatherwood expansion and retained FPH estate. Support design coordination, stakeholder engagement, operational continuity planning and programme alignment across multiple interdependent projects. Supporting procurement development through pre-construction and construction phases.
Assistant Project Manager (Main Works)
Support the design and delivery of the New Hospital Programme, supporting the consultant design team, coordinating clinical and technical design development, and ensuring alignment with programme, budget and Building Safety Act requirements.
Join us and help shape the future of healthcare. Leave a legacy that lasts.
Main duties of the job
The Assistant Project Manager provides practical project management support to the Project Managers and other key team leaders. You will be expected to provide support on complex projects and be directly responsible for project management of various less complex projects, to ensure that they are given the opportunity to develop and hone their skills and interests.
The postholder will liaise with relevant stakeholders and undertake analysis and data work. These are demanding and rewarding roles, requiring a high degree of organisational skill, demonstrating a high level of accuracy and an ability to prioritise workload, meet deadlines and deal with competing priorities.
