Working within the PMO, you will coordinate project schedules with managers, track status, and produce regular progress reports.

- Own and manage the Integrated Master Schedule across a portfolio of engineering and defence‑related projects.
- Track and report on schedule progress, including critical path and variance analysis.
- Perform resource loading and levelling, incorporating inputs from a master resource pool to support accurate forecasting.
- Support scenario planning to assess delivery options, resourcing constraints and schedule impacts.
- Integrate schedule data with tools such as Jira, aligning engineering milestones with project timelines.
- Collaborate with Risk Managers to factor risk and uncertainty impacts into schedule forecasts.
- Analyse and report on planned versus actual hours and resource utilisation across the portfolio.
- Provide clear, high‑quality scheduling dashboards and reports to the PMO and senior leadership.
- Drive continuous improvement of scheduling standards, tools and governance across the project controls function.
Qualifications and Experience
- Strong experience in project scheduling or project controls within the defence, marine, engineering or shipbuilding sectors.
- Proficient in scheduling tools such as Primavera P6 and MS Project, with working knowledge of Jira integrations.

- Familiarity with MOD delivery frameworks and regulated programme environments.
- Exposure to Earned Value Management (EVM) and basic cost‑schedule integration.
