Due to recent growth, we are looking to recruit a Junior Project Coordinator to join our Birmingham studio. You will be responsible for supporting the account, project and studio management function within Creative Design. It’s a fantastic opportunity, in a team that’s bringing real added-value to their projects and clients. We’re currently a team of six based across the UK within a creative team of over 70, with plans to expand in 2019.
You will need to be a team player who enjoys a dynamic working environment, be pro-active, on-top of deliverables and project plans as well as offering administrative support to ensure we’re always delivering the best outcomes for our clients.
As we’re such a diverse team, there will be opportunities to get involved in supporting the delivery of projects from internal campaign animations to creating a new brand that aims to solve the UK’s housing crisis.
Within the Birmingham studio, you would be well supported by Account and Project Management colleagues. You will need to be able to manage smaller projects from the outset, support the team on larger project delivery, and you will have the opportunity to manage larger-scale projects as your career progresses.
We currently work with clients such as High Speed Rail, Transport for London, East West Rail, Ministry of Defence, Highways England, EDF Energy, Faithful and Gould and our own global internal communications.
