Overview
We are seeking an experienced Programme Manager to oversee a busy and diverse portfolio of projects. The role is focused on maintaining visibility and progress across multiple workstreams, ensuring consistent delivery and performance reporting. This opportunity is ideal for someone already working in a similar role within construction, facilities management or infrastructure, who is confident managing programme data, coordinating stakeholders, and driving accountability. It is not a data analyst position but a hands-on role centred on programme control, progress tracking, and communication. You will act as the key point of coordination between project managers, commercial teams, finance, and senior leadership, ensuring that accurate information flows efficiently across all parties.

Key Responsibilities

Take ownership of the overall projects programme, maintaining up-to-date records of all live and upcoming works.
Monitor and report progress against key milestones, budgets, and timelines, highlighting potential risks or issues.
Liaise closely with project managers to ensure updates are accurate, timely, and compliant with reporting standards.
Maintain consistency and accuracy of programme data and documentation across multiple regions and delivery teams.
Produce clear and meaningful programme reports, dashboards, and performance summaries for internal and client stakeholders.
Analyse progress data to identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement.
Support accurate forecasting, billing alignment, and resource planning based on live project information.
Oversee document control, governance, and version management within programme systems.
Contribute to the ongoing improvement of reporting tools and processes to enhance programme visibility and efficiency.

What You Will Bring

Proven experience in programme management or project controls, ideally across a large or multi-site project portfolio.
A background in construction, facilities management, defence, housing, or infrastructure environments.
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel and familiarity with tools such as Power BI or Smartsheet.
Excellent attention to detail and the ability to interpret and present complex data clearly and confidently.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
Confident communication and stakeholder coordination skills, with a proactive and methodical approach.
Understanding of NEC or JCT contracts would be advantageous
