Projects can be defined and delivered within different contexts, across diverse industry sectors and, whether big or small, every project needs to be managed to ensure its success.
An associate project manager knows what needs to be achieved, how it will be achieved, how long it will take and how much it will cost, and need good planning, organisation, leadership, management and communication skills to work with the project team to achieve the required outcomes.
They utilise resources with suitable skills, qualifications, experience and knowledge to work together in a motivated and integrated team, with clearly defined reporting lines, roles, responsibilities and authorities.
Dependent upon the size of the organisation and the complexity of project, associate project managers' job titles will vary, but typically can include assistant project manager, junior project manager, project team leader. Some organisations use 'project manager' as a generic job title.
Typically, candidates will have achieved a grade C/4 or above in at least five GCSEs including English and maths, and hold a minimum of 48 UCAS points, or equivalent.
