* Assist with pre-sales project scoping and tender return documentation ensuring that project risks are identified and controlled as early as possible.
* Create and update project Gantt charts, project and quality plans, to report on progress including effort / cost to complete for consultancy projects and resource utilisation.
* Ensure high standards of quality by adherence to consultancy processes, updating project records, support auditing and compliance checks, and commitment to continuously improve ways of working.
What you'll need to succeed
* Excellent organisational and customer facing communication skills, with the ability to work to tight deadlines.
* Good working knowledge of project management techniques including the ability to create projects, track labour usage and ensure that budgets are complied with.
* Experience of engagement with varied groups of stakeholders, including sales, consultants, suppliers and customers.
* Competent IT user with good experience using Microsoft Office Software and other in-house toolsets.
* Familiarity with Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft Business Central software is desirable.
