You'll lead the development and refinement of integrated project schedules across EPDO programmes, ensuring timelines align with risk assessments and assurance processes. Your planning expertise will be central to keeping delivery goals on track and enabling successful execution.
As the key link between planning and governance, you'll work closely with the Risk and Assurance Manager to support smooth pre-Gate Reviews. You'll provide planning assurance, enhance project oversight, and turn complex data into clear, actionable insights using tools like MS Project and Power BI —helping leadership make informed decisions that keep projects moving forward.
This role is built on collaboration.
