Project Support Officer

CPC Project Services – Construction Consultancy
Project Support Officer
Full Time/Permanent
Office - Oxford (office-based minimum 4 days per week)
CPC – Big enough to deliver, small enough to care!
Join us at CPC Project Services, an award-winning, independent Project Management and Cost Consultancy with a 36-year track record of delivering outstanding projects across infrastructure, property, and transformational change.
We’re looking for a proactive and highly organised Project Support Officer to become part of our Oxford team — a role perfectly suited to someone who enjoys getting stuck in, takes ownership, and wants to play a key role in the day-to-day running of a busy, high-performing environment. From the outset, you’ll have the chance to make a real impact and quickly become integral to how we operate, working within a friendly, supportive, and down-to-earth team that will provide the guidance you need to succeed — enjoying moments like our Breakfast Club and Pizza Thursdays along the way!
Working within our Health, Education, Science and Technology division, you will collaborate with experienced Project Managers on high-profile projects that are shaping the built environment.
Recent projects highlights include -
• Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities – a landmark Oxford facility bringing multiple humanities faculties together under one roof, designed to inspire collaboration, creativity, and world-leading research.
• National Quantum Computing Centre – a cutting-edge hub driving the UK’s quantum technology programme and enabling pioneering innovation.
This is a hands-on role spanning both project delivery and office operations. You’ll become the trusted organiser who keeps everything running smoothly, from coordinating meetings and managing documentation to driving project processes and office activities. In doing so, you’ll enable our Project Managers to focus on delivery while you are able to build a broad skillset that can develop into a long and fulfilling career with CPC.
At CPC, people are genuinely at the heart of what we do. In 2024, we became employee-owned, meaning your contribution directly shares in the success you help create. It’s a key part of our culture, offering stability, long-term growth, and a real sense of ownership in your work.
If you’re organised, proactive, and ready to get stuck into high-impact projects while growing your career, this is the role for you!
