Assistant Project Manager
tasnim.syeda@circledevelopment.co.uk
What expertise and background do you bring to the table?
My background is mainly academic, I hold a BSc in Architecture and was a Part 1 Architectural Assistant for over a year, engaging with clients, preparing planning applications, and producing detailed drawings. Alongside this, I have recently completed an MSc in Construction Project Management with Sustainability, with graduation set for December 2025. Through my studies, I’ve developed a solid understanding of design principles, project planning, and sustainable construction. I’ve also built strong skills in communication, problem-solving, and working collaboratively, which I now apply in my current role as an Assistant Project Manager.
Can you outline the responsibilities of your role?
In my day-to-day role, I take responsibility for managing relationships with clients, consultants, contractors, and other key stakeholders. I make it a priority to fully understand each client’s needs and expectations, ensuring deadlines are met and that we deliver high-quality results. I’m naturally curious and detail-oriented, so I ask the right questions, take time to understand the bigger picture, and make sure I’m always aligned with the project goals. Whether it’s preparing for meetings, contributing ideas, or capturing key decisions in written records, I focus on clear, effective communication. I also make it a point to flag any risks or issues early on so that project leads are always kept in the loop.
I bring a mix of rigorous thinking from my architectural background, a solid grounding in project management principles, and a strong awareness of sustainability in construction.
What excites you about joining Circle, and what are your goals for the future?
I’m really looking forward to progressing in my career at Circle. The opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking and supportive team is something I value highly, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing within the company. I’m particularly keen to work towards completing my RICS accreditation with the guidance and support of the Circle team, and I see this as a great environment to develop both personally and professionally.
I’m also excited about the chance to build strong working relationships, both within the Circle team and with our clients. I enjoy being part of collaborative projects where I can contribute meaningfully and learn from those around me. The diversity of projects and the emphasis on quality and client service at Circle really align with the direction I want to take in my career.
What brings you joy outside of work?
Outside of work, you’ll often find me oil pastel drawing, it’s something I enjoy as a creative outlet and a way to unwind. I also like staying active, and regularly play badminton with friends. It’s a fun way to keep fit, stay social, and recharge after a busy week.
