Manage external partners where required.
Drive delivery through structured monthly control cycles and clear governance.
Provide accurate, transparent project reporting and clear escalation to senior stakeholders.
Engineering Collaboration
Embed within technical teams (e.g. Software, Hardware, Mechanical) as a delivery partner.
Work closely with engineers to develop estimates, plans, and resource requirements.
Build strong, collaborative relationships across disciplines and locations.
Remove delivery impediments and support effective team working.
PMO & Governance
Contribute actively to the wider PMO, sharing best practice and lessons learned.
Support standardisation and continuous improvement across the PMO function.
Monitor project metrics, budgets, and forecasts, ensuring financial and delivery discipline.
Capture delivery and financial learning to improve future planning and estimation.
