George Jackson Ltd
Join one of the UK’s leading decorative plasterwork specialists

Build your career on some of the UK’s most prestigious projects

At George Jackson Ltd, craftsmanship, quality and heritage are at the heart of everything we do. We specialise in exceptional decorative plasterwork and have delivered work for Royal Palaces, luxury private residences, world-class retail environments and 5-star hotels.

As a family-run business with an outstanding reputation, we take pride in creating extraordinary interiors while investing in the people who help us deliver them.

We are looking for an ambitious Graduate Project Manager to join our team and begin an exciting career within the construction industry. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience across high-profile projects while working closely with experienced Project Managers who will support your development into a fully-fledged Project Manager.

The Opportunity

This role offers far more than a traditional graduate position. You will be involved in projects from initial order through to final account, gaining exposure to:

• Project planning and delivery
• Commercial management
• Production scheduling
• Site coordination and management
• Client relationships
• Health & safety management

You will learn directly from experienced colleagues while building the skills needed to take ownership of your own projects.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the delivery of George Jackson works to the highest standards of quality and programme requirements
• Coordinating site teams and resources across multiple projects
• Building strong relationships with clients and project stakeholders
• Reviewing client drawings and construction programmes
• Preparing George Jackson sub-programmes and identifying potential issues early
• Coordinating materials from our workshop to sites as required
• Ensuring safe working practices and maintaining high site standards
• Preparing method statements and risk assessments
• Assisting with commercial management and project reporting
• Developing the knowledge and experience needed to manage projects independently

About You

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, motivated and ready to build a long-term career in project management.

You will ideally have:

• A degree in Engineering, Construction Management or a related discipline
• Strong mathematical and analytical ability
• Commercial awareness and attention to detail
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn
• An interest in construction, heritage, luxury projects or specialist finishes

Experience reading drawings and programmes of work would be beneficial, but not essential.

Why Join George Jackson?

This is an opportunity to work on projects that very few people ever get to experience.

You’ll contribute to work within:

• Royal Palaces
• Exclusive private residences
• Luxury retail spaces
• Five-star hotels

Alongside exciting projects, we offer:

• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
• Workplace pension scheme
• Life insurance
• Full-time permanent position
• Structured career development and mentoring
• Supportive team environment
• Clear pathway to becoming a Project Manager

At George Jackson, we believe that your success is our success. We invest in our people, encourage growth, and work together to deliver exceptional results.

If you’re looking to start your project management career on landmark projects and develop within a respected specialist contractor, we’d love to hear from you.
