PMO Manager
London | Hybrid | Permanent | Up to £85,000 - £95,000 + Bonus + Benefits
This is a brilliant role working with top people - however before we start I have to stress we need the following:
- Sector experience: Engineering, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, industrial services, energy, utilities or another complex project-led environment.
- PE-backed experience would be a big advantage.
- Experience of building up or leading an exit / sale / IPO.
- Experience of leading and setting up a PMO function.
If you don't tick the sector experience it will likely be a rejection. Sorry to be brutal!
We’re partnering with a rapidly scaling global engineering and project services business to find an experienced PMO Manager.
It’s a complex, international and highly project-led business with major transformation and strategic initiatives happening across the Group.
This is a newly created role reporting to the Group CFO, with real scope to build and shape the PMO capability from the ground up.
The Role
This is much more than project coordination. You’ll be helping to build and shape the PMO capability while working across some of the Group’s most important strategic projects.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Building and developing PMO frameworks, governance and reporting across the Group.
- Managing the portfolio of strategic projects and helping drive successful delivery.
- Bringing structure and consistency to multiple projects and workstreams across different countries.
- Producing clear reporting, dashboards and insights for the Executive Team and Board.
- Tracking milestones, risks, budgets, dependencies and overall project performance.
- Working closely with senior stakeholders to drive accountability and keep projects moving.
- Improving PMO processes, reporting, tooling and project governance.
- Supporting transformation, operational improvement and other strategic initiatives as the business continues to scale.

About You
We’re looking for a confident, organised and commercially minded PMO professional who enjoys building, improving and getting things done.
You’ll be comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where everything isn’t already perfectly structured. You’ll need to be able to create that structure, influence senior stakeholders and help turn strategic priorities into deliverable plans.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Experience building, developing or improving a PMO within a global or multi-site business.
- Experience within engineering, construction, manufacturing, infrastructure, industrial services, energy, utilities or another complex project-led environment.
- Strong programme governance, reporting and project delivery skills.
- The confidence to manage and organise multiple workstreams across different countries.
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to challenge and influence senior people.
- A hands-on approach and the autonomy to make things happen.
- Experience within a PE-backed environment, due diligence, exit readiness or significant business transformation would be highly advantageous.
