Are you ready to dive into a career where no two days are the same? At Fugro, we’re passionate about unlocking insights from the Earth to help build a safer and more sustainable world. As an Assistant Project Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our nearshore and land site investigation projects—supporting delivery from tender to completion.

This is a hands-on role with real impact, offering international travel and the chance to grow within a global leader in geo-data.

You’ll report directly to the Project Delivery Manager and collaborate with senior managers across the Nearshore Site Characterisation team. The standard working week is 40 hours per week.
Support Project Managers in planning, executing, and delivering nearshore and land site investigation projects.
Act as Assistant Site Manager or Site Manager during project delivery phases, supervising drill teams and engineers.
Prepare method statements, risk assessments, and lift plans to ensure safe and efficient operations.
Promote and uphold Fugro’s health and safety standards across all project activities.
Assist in onboarding field crews with updates on operational and HSE procedures.
Maintain clear communication with internal stakeholders and clients to ensure project alignment.
Contribute to continuous improvement of project and personnel practices.
A solid foundation in geotechnical site investigations or land construction/project management.
Offshore medical certification (UKOOG, ENG1 or similar) or willingness to obtain one.
Willingness and ability to travel internationally and work offshore for extended periods.
Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to work under pressure.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office; CAD software experience is a plus.
