As part of the Investment PMO, you'll help build the analytical 'engine room' that supports strategic planning, delivery performance and financial reporting.

    • Build and maintain financial and programme baselines
    • Analyse large, complex datasets in Excel to identify trends, risks and variances
    • Monitor full project lifecycles, from funding to delivery
    • Provide clear insights and reports to senior stakeholders and shareholders
    • Contribute to quarterly regulatory reporting through data-led insights

    What We're Looking For:

    • Strong understanding of project financials and capital investment principles
    • Advanced Excel skills: confident handling complex data and modelling outcomes
    • Experience in regulated industries such as utilities, energy, infrastructure or transport is highly desirable
    • Strategic thinker, able to draw conclusions and influence direction
    • Familiar with project reporting, funding models and lifecycle tracking
    • Comfortable navigating ambiguity in fast-paced, evolving environments
    • Excellent stakeholder engagement skills across functions and seniority
    • Primavera P6 experience is highly desirable
    • Qualifications such as APM, PMI or MRICS are highly desirable

    Why Join?

    • Shape delivery across a £multi-billion capital portfolio
    • Gain exposure to strategic funding, corporate planning and regulation
    • Work with experienced leaders in a collaborative and high-performing team
    • Forward-thinking culture that values innovation and ideas
    • Clear career pathways into programme management, strategy or regulatory roles
