We are supporting a long-standing public sector client in securing a strong PMO with project support experience to support a complex engineering strategy transformation programme.
This role sits within a large-scale technical transformation environment, supporting delivery governance across multiple portfolios and workstreams involving engineering teams. The successful candidate will have a large capability, helping to drive governance control, assurance, escalation management, dependency coordination, RAID oversight, financial tracking, and delivery reporting across a complex programme environment.

Responsibilities:
- Support governance, control, and assurance activity across a complex engineering transformation programme
- Maintain and improve programme reporting, ensuring delivery data is accurate, consistent, and decision-ready
- Support RAID management, including risk and issue tracking, escalation, dependency coordination, and re-baselining activity
- Work closely with engineering teams, technical IT teams, developers, and delivery stakeholders to gather updates and track progress
- Support portfolio and workstream-level planning, tracking, reporting, and delivery governance
- Assist with project control boards, governance forums, assurance reviews, and quality review meetings
- Support financial tracking, forecasting, variance analysis, and public-sector financial governance processes
- Help monitor delivery performance and recommend corrective actions where performance is off-track
- Maintain project artefacts, logs, reports, governance packs, and audit-ready documentation
- Support the use of PMO / PSO tooling, including reporting tools, planning systems, and project management platforms
- Provide proactive PMO support across change control, dependency tracking, governance reviews, and senior reporting
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of PMO standards, reporting processes, and delivery controls
