About JC Virtual PMs
JC Virtual PMs (JC.VPMS LTD) is a UK-based virtual consultancy delivering project management, design management, BIM, information management and document control. We work with SMEs and other clients across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, bringing joined-up project, design and information management to projects that need more than a freelancer but less than a large consultancy. We are remote-first and growing.
About the role
You will work alongside our Project Managers and Senior Project Managers on live commissions, supporting the day-to-day running of projects while learning how a virtual consultancy delivers for clients across several time zones. You will report to a Project Manager. This is a development role with structured training and a clear path to Project Manager.
Key responsibilities
- Prepare agendas, minutes and action trackers for project and design team meetings
- Maintain risk, issue and change registers
- Help update programmes and monthly progress reports
- Coordinate information requests and responses with the design team and contractors
- Support procurement and tender administration
- Keep project records organised in the CDE and our project systems
What we're looking for
Essential
- Some experience in a project, construction or consultancy environment (around 1 year), or a relevant degree with placement experience
- Organised, proactive and comfortable working remotely with a distributed team
- Clear written English and good Excel and Microsoft 365 skills
- Right to work in the country where you will be based
Desirable
- Degree or diploma in Construction Management, Project Management, Architecture, Engineering or similar (or working towards)
- Interest in the RIBA Plan of Work, CDM 2015 and ISO 19650
- Working towards APM Project Fundamentals (PFQ) or PMQ
Experience levels are a guide, not a cut-off. If you are close and can show equivalent experience, please apply.
How we work
- Remote-first: you work from your home base, with occasional client meetings or site visits when a project needs them.
- Our clients and teams span the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia, so we agree working hours that overlap with each project's time zones.
- We work in Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint and Outlook) and our own project controls and HR platforms for timesheets, reporting, leave and expenses.
- This role is offered on an employed basis, full-time or part-time.
- We resource against confirmed client commissions, so start dates follow project mobilisation. We will be open about timing from our first conversation.
What we offer
- Remote, flexible working, full-time or part-time
- Competitive salary or associate day rate, benchmarked to your location and experience. We will discuss pay with you before your interview
- Professional membership fees covered
- Exposure to a diverse portfolio of UK and international projects
- A clear career path, with Project Manager as your next step
- Structured training and mentoring from experienced colleagues
- A supportive, collaborative team with a focus on professional growth
- The chance to help shape and grow a forward-thinking virtual consultancy
Our hiring process
- Apply online with your CV. We will ask where you would be based, whether you have the right to work there, and a few short questions about your experience.

- Interview: one or two video interviews on Microsoft Teams, booked at a time that suits your time zone.
