Risk, Issues & Dependencies

• Maintain project risk and issue logs — consolidating inputs from across the Nscale project teams, ensuring risks have owners and mitigations, and producing clear summaries for project leadership.
• Maintain programme dependency trackers — mapping cross-workstream and, where relevant, cross-project dependencies and flagging where delays in one area are creating risk in another.
• Follow up on risk mitigation actions and issue resolution — keeping logs current and escalating stale items to the appropriate Nscale lead.
• Help identify practical blockers early and ensure these are escalated to the appropriate Project Manager, Project Director or workstream lead.

Information Flow & Document Coordination

• Coordinate the flow of information between Nscale project teams and the delivery management structures — tracking submittals, RFIs, technical queries and approvals that require owner input or response.
• Ensure Nscale teams have visibility of key documents, reports and submissions from the delivery structures — distributing, filing and flagging items that require action or review.
• Assist with document control and information flow where required, ensuring key documents, drawings, actions and correspondence are stored and shared correctly.
• Support coordination between Nscale teams, external consultants, contractors, vendors and other project stakeholders.
• Support onboarding of new Nscale team members by maintaining clear project information, governance routines, contact information and document filing structures.

Reporting

• Produce concise, well-structured reporting outputs for project leadership — translating raw programme data, risk logs and workstream updates into clear dashboards and summary notes that enable informed decision-making.
• Support the preparation of executive, board-level and stakeholder reporting packs, drawing on inputs from across Nscale teams and the delivery structures.
• Maintain a consistent reporting format and cadence — ensuring project leadership always has a current, reliable view of programme status without having to chase for it.
• Support consolidated reporting across UK and Portugal projects, highlighting key milestones, risks, issues, dependencies and decisions requiring leadership attention.

Project Coordination & Support

• Support Project Directors, Project Managers and workstream leads with day-to-day coordination across multiple disciplines and project activities.
• Coordinate project meetings, workshops, site visits and stakeholder interfaces, ensuring actions and follow-up requirements are clearly captured.
• Support coordination across development, design, infrastructure, utilities, procurement, construction, OFCI, commissioning and other project disciplines.
• Assist in resolving day-to-day coordination issues by identifying the appropriate owners, facilitating communication and following actions through to closure.
• Support project teams during periods of increased activity, ensuring information, meetings, actions and interfaces remain well coordinated.

Skills & Competencies Required

• Strong organisational and coordination skills — able to manage multiple concurrent projects and workstreams, track actions across busy project teams, and keep governance processes running without being directed to.
• Clear written communication: able to produce concise meeting minutes, action logs, risk summaries and reporting packs that are accurate, readable and useful to senior leadership.
• Programme literacy: able to read and understand construction and infrastructure programmes, identify milestone dependencies and sense-check schedule information received from project functions — without needing to build or maintain schedules directly.
• Proactive follow-through: not a passive coordinator — comfortable chasing overdue actions, flagging slippage and keeping workstream leads accountable for their inputs.
• Strong communication and stakeholder coordination skills, with confidence following up with internal teams, consultants, contractors, suppliers and other project stakeholders.
• High attention to detail and willingness to take ownership of follow-up activities until they are closed.
• Proficient in project management and reporting tools: MS Project, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, Aconex, Procore or similar document control and reporting platforms.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, multi-project and multi-party environment where priorities shift and the ability to adapt quickly is essential.
• Able to work effectively across geographically distributed teams and projects.

Experience Profile

• 4–7 years’ experience in a project coordination, project controls, PMO support or assistant project management role on major construction, infrastructure or data centre programmes.
• Experience supporting a client-side or owner-side project team — ideally within a multi-party structure involving owner, project management, PMO, contractor and vendor organisations.
• Proven experience supporting governance routines: action trackers, meeting coordination, reporting packs, risk and issue logs and decision registers across multiple workstreams.
• Exposure to complex construction or infrastructure programmes with multiple concurrent workstreams — data centre, energy, utilities or large infrastructure experience beneficial.
• Experience coordinating across multiple project disciplines, consultants, contractors and internal stakeholders.
• Experience working across multiple projects or geographically distributed teams is beneficial.
• Ability to travel between UK and Portugal project locations as required.
