Role Purpose

The Junior Project Manager supports the successful end-to-end delivery of work orders across the Beeks estate, working under the guidance of the Head of Projects and experienced project managers.

Acting as a coordination and documentation hub between Sales, Engineering, Procurement, Finance and customers, the role keeps delivery moving — maintaining accurate records, capturing meeting minutes and actions, keeping project packs current, and providing responsive, professional customer contact throughout provisioning and onboarding.

This is a development role.

The successful candidate will build core project management skills through a structured six‑month programme, progressing from supporting delivery to independently owning standard service orders — all while helping to protect delivery timelines, data accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Service Order Coordination & Delivery Support
• Support the end-to-end lifecycle of service orders under guidance, keeping each order progressing accurately and on schedule.
• Triage incoming project tickets in Jira, confirm they are complete before they reach engineers, and return incomplete tickets with clear guidance on what is missing.
• Raise installation tickets and coordinate with Smart Hands / Data Centre teams, supporting pre-deployment readiness checks.
• Track order status so it is always current and visible, and support post-deployment validation before orders are marked complete.
• Documentation, Minutes & Project Packs
• Take clear, accurate minutes at meetings and service reviews; capturing decisions, owners and deadlines, and circulate action logs promptly.
• Maintain and update project packs so status, actions, risks and key documents remain an accurate single source of truth.
• Keep asset and configuration records complete and audit-ready in the relevant platforms (e. g. Nautobot).
• Apply documentation and change-management standards consistently.
• Resource & Capacity Coordination
• Support resource planning , helping coordinate engineers, Smart Hands, hardware and schedules across concurrent work so nothing collides.
• Help maintain accurate capacity data and flag utilisation issues to the Head of Projects.
• Build awareness of forward capacity needs against the sales pipeline.
• Scope & Requirements Support
• Help translate customer requirements into a clear Statement of Work with defined acceptance criteria.
• Develop a firm understanding of scope of work, what a customer has actually bought versus what they assume, and flag potential scope creep early.
• Procurement & Licensing Support
• Help translate deployment requirements into procurement requests, specifying quantities, deadlines and delivery addresses.
• Quality-check inbound shipments against purchase orders and elevate discrepancies that risk installation timelines.
• Track software and platform licensing, supporting timely renewals to avoid service risk.
• Provide responsive, professional customer contact throughout provisioning and onboarding, representing Beeks well at all times.
• Excel at customer engagement, keep customers informed, manage expectations, and grow into a trusted point of contact.
• Keep Sales, Finance and internal stakeholders updated on order status and any risks, with enough notice for them to act.
• Support regular service-review touchpoints and maintain a single source of truth on status.
• Develop commercial acumen, understanding how delivery decisions affect billing, revenue recognition and profitability.
• Notify Finance promptly on deployment completion and validate billing details against the work order.
• Support deployment spend tracking and flag budget variances or scope changes.
• Engage fully with the structured six-month development programme; actively seek feedback and act on it.
• Identify recurring operational snags and suggest practical improvements.
• Contribute to runbooks and playbooks as knowledge and confidence build.

Skills & Experience

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail; able to manage several priorities at once without losing accuracy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and a confident, professional manner with customers.
• Strong minute-taking, note-taking and documentation skills.
• Comfortable with Jira (or a similar ticketing / ITSM tool) and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel for tracking and reporting.
• Proactive, reliable and calm under pressure; genuinely keen to learn and act on feedback.
• A clear interest in building a career in project management.
• Awareness of IT infrastructure, server / network or data centre concepts.
• Some exposure to project management principles or methodologies (e. g. Agile, PRINCE2).
• Familiarity with asset management or inventory tooling (e. g. Nautobot).
• Understanding of ITIL-aligned service delivery and change management.
• Basic commercial awareness — how delivery affects billing and revenue recognition.

Qualifications

• ITIL Foundation, PRINCE2 Foundation or Comp TIA Project+ desirable; training supported where not already held.
