Project Manager IWM Duxford Masterplan (Mat Cover)
As a Project Manager, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of the Transforming IWM Duxford Masterplan, coordinating activity across multiple projects and workstreams to ensure successful outcomes. Working closely with project teams, stakeholders and partners, you will support programme governance, reporting, scheduling and stakeholder engagement, helping to keep projects on track, within budget and aligned with organisational objectives.
