Assistant Project Lead Project and Development Services What this job involves: Pillar of the team Working closely with either the project manager or the senior project manager (or both), you’ll play a pivotal role in driving project success. You’ll take ownership of small projects, and provide a boost to the major ones. Being one of the leaders at the helm, you’ll explore ways to bring out the best in your team by striving to ensure optimal outcomes for all stakeholders. Likewise, you’ll play a lead role in managing the organisational structure for each project, making sure that all reporting, communication and working procedures are streamlined, and that every project has clear objectives in place. Your attendance at project meetings is necessary, and you’ll be expected to create project-related reports, analyses and reviews. Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail is crucial; this role needs someone who is good at forecasting project expenditure and ensuring effective management of project budgets. Building strong client relationships We live and breathe client satisfaction. We therefore need someone who shares the same passion and dedication. You’ll maintain a strong and positive relationship with our clients by identifying their needs, requirements and constraints. Of course, as you represent our clients’ best interests, you’ll also keep in mind JLL’s own business needs—and, thereby, strive to achieve an ideal balance between the two. You’ll do so by being on the lookout for opportunities to introduce potential prospects to other business lines at JLL and build relationships with clients. You’ll also see to it that project revenue and payment cycles are properly managed to avoid bad debt. Upholding excellence in project delivery For over 200 years, JLL has become synonymous with project success—you will help continue this history of excellence. You’ll manage professional consultants necessary for the design and documentation of the project, as well as carry out contract administration of all vendors professionally and in accordance with legal requirements to protect commercial interests of clients and JLL. You will also help identify project risks and implement measures to mitigate them. Similarly, core to our reputation is our strong focus on health & safety and on sustainability, and you’ll be expected to keep these front-of-mind at all times. Likewise, you should have a great sense of urgency when it comes to solving problems, improving products or services, finding new markets, and implementing new strategies. You are resilient and can deal effectively with competing priorities and tight deadlines. Sound like you? To apply you need to be: Our successful Project Managers … Engage confidently with internal and external stakeholders and see things from their perspective.
