Working directly with the programme directors and programme managers for these deliveries we are looking for individuals who are excited by keeping programmes on schedule and to budget and take pride in engaging in project start-up and meticulous planning of project controls in MS Projects or other planning suites.

Your day to day responsibilities will differ project to project and we're looking for a dynamic individual who enjoys the challenge of being hands on across all areas of the PMO and is able to report and engage with key stakeholders to ensure a smooth delivery.
