About Allaway Acoustics
Allaway Acoustics is a well-established, market-leading acoustic engineering company with over 55 years of experience designing, manufacturing, and installing noise and vibration control solutions across the UK and Europe.
With offices in Hertford and extensive manufacturing facilities in Thetford, we pride ourselves on delivering consistently high standards of service and technical excellence. As a family-owned business, we recognise that our people are central to our continued success and growth.
As we embark on an exciting growth journey, we are looking for an Assistant Project Manager to join our Project Delivery Team.
The Opportunity
Based at our Hertford Head Office, you will join a busy and growing project delivery team, supporting experienced Project Managers in delivering large-scale projects across the UK and Europe.
As your experience develops, you will take ownership of smaller projects, managing them from point of order through to final handover.
This role requires a highly organised and proactive individual who can manage multiple tasks, communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, and maintain a strong focus on customer care.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
