Overview

Our client, an established civils, fibre and telecoms business expanding into EV charging infrastructure, is looking for an Interim Microsoft Project PMO to set up and embed Microsoft Project across the team.

This is a short-term, hands-on contract focused on getting the right structure, data and reporting in place, and making sure the existing team knows how to use it. There's a possibility of this extending, or evolving into an ongoing role, for the right person.

Key Responsibilities

• Set up and structure Microsoft Project for live programme management, including critical path, resource levelling and baselines
• Input and structure existing programme data so it's usable and accurate from day one
• Train and coach existing staff on programme creation, progress updating and forecasting within Microsoft Project
• Build client-facing programme reporting templates and processes
• Establish a simple, repeatable process the team can maintain after the contract ends
• Work closely with the wider team to understand current gaps and tailor training accordingly

Essential Requirements

• A recognised project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, APM, PMP or equivalent)
• Strong, hands-on Microsoft Project experience, non-negotiable, ideally including setup and administration, not just day-to-day use
• Experience structuring or migrating programme data into Microsoft Project
• Confident training and coaching non-technical staff on new tools and processes
• Able to start immediately or at very short notice
• Comfortable working hyrbid from Kent, for the duration of the contract

Desirable Experience

• PMO, Planner, or similar tools/process-focused background
• Experience within EV charging, electrical infrastructure, or construction/civils environments
• Experience handing over a process or system to a permanent team

What's on Offer

• Flexible day rate, outside IR35
• Immediate start, 3–6 week initial contract with strong potential to extend
• Hybrid role working directly with the leadership team
