THE ROLE

• Evaluate schedule progress and performance, identify emerging risks and issues, and escalate concerns proactively
• Develop and maintain Dependency Registers across the program portfolio
• Apply the DCMA 14-point schedule assessment to ensure schedule integrity and rigour

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Project Professional in a complex program environment
• Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain schedules under strong governance frameworks
• Proven experience with Prince2, Agile, or Hybrid delivery methodologies in a large organisation
• Ability to coordinate people, resources, and timelines with minimal direction
