Do you have project experience and the ability to proactively manage a busy workload? Do you want to play a key role in an exciting project for the National Science and Media Museum?
The Sound and Vision galleries will bring our world-class collections of photography, film, television and sound technologies to the forefront of the National Science and Media Museum. New galleries will highlight the significant contribution sound and visual technologies have had on the world, and a programme of activities developed alongside the galleries will raise aspirations, develop skills and increase digital confidence in young people. Sound & Vision’s galleries and activities will be a driving force in the regeneration of Bradford.
We are now recruiting for a Project Coordinator to join our Masterplan and Estate team to help us to achieve this transformation and create a world-class destination in Bradford. The role will be working on a 17.5 hours per week basis with a working pattern which can be agreed to suit the successful candidate.
Our projects are delivered by people across the Museum, managed by a Client Project Manager. As Project Coordinator you will provide project support to the Client Project Manager, helping to deliver this complex gallery project. You will be providing day-to-day support to the Sound and Vision Project Management team, including arranging and minuting meetings, raising purchase orders, overseeing deliveries, drafting documents and responding to enquires.
Joining us you will have an enthusiasm for the work of the National Science and Media Museum and the project’s aims. You will have demonstrable experience of project work coupled with the ability to proactively manage a busy workload. Crucially you will be a good communicator with strong interpersonal skills which will enable you to build strong working relationships with stakeholders across the project.
