project management jobs
An architecture project manager works in the construction industry designing and project managing new buildings, working closely with users, clients and officials to make sure that projected designs match the specifications.
Project management jobs typically start with a building project, from site selection through to completion, and remain actively involved throughout as their ideas and plans are turned into reality.
Activities include consulting with design professionals as well as preparing and presenting proposals to the client. Those in project architect jobs typically advise clients, keep financial budgets and prepare tender and planning applications. Candidates need to have experience of using IT in design and project management, specifically software packages such as Auto Cad and SketchUp.
Progress into project management jobs
