Antrim Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom Mivan Ltd Full time

With 45 years experience, Mivan is a dynamic and progressive specialist joinery and interior fit-out contractor with a reputation for excellence and innovation and an international track record of achievement within a broad range of sectors including marine, luxury hotels, prime residential and commercial.​


Due to new contract awards within our marine division, we are currently looking for an experienced and ambitious Project Manager to join our team based in Antrim.

The Assistant Project Manager is responsible for establishing and successfully co-ordinating the necessary resources to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget and to the client’s satisfaction.

Main duties will include:

  • Assist in the development of the project budget and ensure the project is delivered within that budget
  • Ensure that all work is carried out to the client’s specifications and ensure that all those engaged on site have up-to-date information and adhere to the project plan
  • Ensure that the project resources i.e. staff, labour, plant, materials and sub-contractors are effectively managed
  • Liaise with clients and their agents to advise on progress and problem resolution as required
  • Ensure the Company Operations and Safety Management Procedures are implemented on the project
  • Ensure site administration systems are set up to accurately record and document site records
  • Ensure contractual conditions are adhered to and the contractual position is not compromised
  • Establish clear targets, reporting processes and procedures so that all reporting functions are working to consistent standards. Develop, maintain and measure staff performance against these targets
  • Assist in monitoring the financial performance of the project and develop an understanding of Cost Value Reporting as well as taking all necessary steps to minimise costs
  • Proactively develop relationships with clients
  • Proactively participate in value engineering to maximise project contribution
  • Ensure that a high standard of safety is maintained throughout the project and that all relevant environmental and health & safety regulations and procedures are adhered to.


Candidates ideally should have experience, working within construction. Working in interior fit-out type projects is advantageous, this experience does not necessarily need to be marine based. We are seeking candidates with a background in joinery or equivalent third level education. Candidates must demonstrate leadership, planning and communication skills with the ability to keep calm under pressure, make decisions and solve problems


Great attention to detail, commercial acumen and cost control are essential as is the ability to build and promote successful customer relationships.


The nature of Marine, the role is predominately office based in Antrim, but as an Assistant Project Manager, there will be a requirement to travel to lead the project to ensure a successfully delivery for the client.

What we offer:

  • Competitive salary
  • 30 holidays per annum
  • Enhanced pension
  • Health Cash Plan
  • Length of service awards
  • Employee wellness programme
  • Working from home scheme
  • Holiday purchase scheme
  • Personal and professional development
  • The opportunity to deliver prestigious and exciting projects


Closing date for applications is Friday 31st May 2024
