Our teams are working towards Kew's Manifesto for Change, a 10-year strategy to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, and our Estates Projects Team plays a key part in this ambition, delivering a multimillion-pound programme of new build, conservation, refurbishment and decarbonisation projects across a diverse, complex and protected estate. You'll be joining a well-accomplished project management team, well regarded for the rigour, professionalism and expertise they bring to delivering complex capital projects.
We're looking for a PMO Analyst to join our Capital Projects Team, part of Kew's Project Management Office (PMO), helping to deliver this programme, worth around £20 million a year.
