Vacatureomschrijving
Word jij enthousiast van het managen van projecten en het realiseren van complexe renovatie- en herontwikkelingsprojecten? Ben jij een starter met een hbo- of wo-diploma die toe is aan een dynamische omgeving vol uitdagingen, waarin je verantwoordelijk bent voor de end-to-end dienstverlening? Dan zijn wij op zoek naar jou!
Wat ga je doen?
Als Junior Project Manager ben jij verantwoordelijk voor het coördineren en succesvol afronden van onze vastgoedprojecten en maak je deel uit van een dynamische omgeving waarin je onderdeel wordt van verschillende projectteams. Vanaf het allereerste initiatief tot en met de oplevering ben jij betrokken bij het ontwerpen en uitvoeren van diverse projecten. Je bent verantwoordelijk voor de end-to-end dienstverlening en zorgt ervoor dat projecten binnen de gestelde tijd, het budget en kwaliteitsnormen worden gerealiseerd.
In jouw rol ondersteun je de Project Manager en bij kleinere projecten neem je zelfstandig de leiding. Je maakt deel uit van een dynamische omgeving en werkt samen met verschillende projectteams aan uiteenlopende projecten. Het type project varieert van kleine verbouwingen tot grootschalige herontwikkelingen in diverse sectoren, zoals kantoren, logistieke hallen of laboratoria.
Je houdt je bezig met een divers takenpakket, waaronder:
- Projectcoördinatie: Het bewaken en documenteren van projectvoortgang, prestatie indicatoren en wijzigingen.
- Procesbeheer: het opzetten van effectieve processen en systemen die gedurende het hele project worden gebruikt.
- Rapportage en communicatie: het opstellen van projectplannen, formele voortgangsrapportages en schriftelijk communicatiemateriaal.
- Stakeholdermanagement: Het onderhouden van contacten met opdrachtgevers, aannemers en ontwerpers en het bijwonen van vergaderingen, inclusief het opstellen van notulen.
- Onderzoek en analyse: Het uitvoeren van achtergrondonderzoek, dataverzameling en benchmarking.
Zo kan jouw werkdag als Junior Project Manager eruit zien:
Je ontbijt thuis of onderweg want je stapt vroeg de auto in om naar een van je projecten te rijden. De dag start met een bouwvergadering die jij voorzit, dus je zorgt dat je op tijd bent om hiervoor nog even een ronde te lopen. Na de vergadering loop je met de leveranciers langs de locaties die extra aandacht nodig hebben. Je werkt nog een uurtje op de bouw om je notulen uit te werken en deze te versturen.
Net voor de lunch rij je naar kantoor: je hebt in de middag een aantal afspraken met collega’s. Daar pak je nog net even de lekkere lunch op kantoor mee en hoor je waar de anderen mee bezig zijn.
Na de lunch heb je even tijd wat mails te beantwoorden, werk je aan de planning en doe je wat bestellingen. Daarna heb je een projectoverleg, waarbij alles met het team wordt afgestemd en uitgedacht. Het project krijgt steeds meer vorm. Voordat je de dag afsluit, rij je vast naar huis om de file voor te zijn. Je handelt thuis nog de laatste mailtjes af, en dan is de werkdag alweer voorbij!
