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 escalate discrepancies that risk installation timelines.

• Track software and platform licensing, supporting timely renewals to avoid service risk.

Customer & Stakeholder Engagement

• 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.

Commercial & Financial Awareness

• 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.

Continuous Improvement & Development

• 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

Essential

• 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.

Desirable

• 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 CompTIA Project+ desirable; training supported where not already held.
