What you’ll be doing
You’ll report directly to the Performance Manager IOS and provide effective control and complete visibility of the progress of standalone and parcel jobs that deliver the IOS capital programme. Using programme‑management practices and tools, you will enable clarity of our capital delivery programme, project risks, and resources associated with works across IOS. You will manage effective connections with Project Delivery Managers and their teams to ensure control via programme management for early identification of deviation from project plans, and you will provide timely and rigorous information‑management reporting from inception through to completion to generate efficiencies, manage risks and issues, and capture lessons learned while ensuring the programme stays within governance.
