About You

Are you passionate about turning data into real-world impact?

 
Ready to lead planning excellence and drive change?

 
Want to help shape the future for Communities?

If that sounds like you, this is your opportunity.

We’re building a newly emerging Environment Programme Delivery Office, and we need your expertise to help project managers deliver transformational projects that make a difference.

Turn Data into Action

Your skills in scheduling, governance, and resource planning will empower decision-makers and drive successful delivery. Working closely with our Performance and Reporting Manager, you’ll bring clarity, efficiency, and strategic insight to large-scale environmental programmes.

 Lead, Coach, and Collaborate

This is more than planning—it’s about shaping how we work. You’ll be the go-to expert for project planning, guiding teams, coaching staff, and influencing national stakeholders to improve delivery and create lasting impact.

 What You’ll Bring

Project Planning Excellence – Skilled in scheduling, forecasting, and integrated schedule management
Governance & Compliance – Knowledge of best practices and structured frameworks
Resource & Capacity Management – Optimising workforce planning and supply chain schedules
Stakeholder Engagement – Confident communicator and coach across teams
Analytical & Improvement-Focused – Detail-driven, proactive, and solutions-oriented

This is your chance to make a real difference—apply now and help shape the future.

About The Role

You’ll lead the development and refinement of integrated project schedules across EPDO programmes, ensuring timelines align with risk assessments and assurance processes. Your planning expertise will be central to keeping delivery goals on track and enabling successful execution.

As the key link between planning and governance, you’ll work closely with the Risk and Assurance Manager to support smooth pre-Gate Reviews. You’ll provide planning assurance, enhance project oversight, and turn complex data into clear, actionable insights using tools like MS Project and Power BI —helping leadership make informed decisions that keep projects moving forward.

This role is built on collaboration. You’ll run training sessions, facilitate project support meetings, and work with a wide range of stakeholders—including DESNZ, NRW, and Defra—to ensure planning processes align with strategic priorities and deliver meaningful impact. Your ability to engage, guide, and influence will help build a high-performing network across the programme.

You’ll coordinate integrated planning to ensure resources are allocated effectively, keeping schedules aligned with supply chain needs and contractual obligations. From workforce planning to accurate scheduling, your ability to balance capacity and demand will be key to keeping projects on time and on target.

Planning is dynamic, and you’ll be at the forefront of driving efficiency and innovation. You’ll embed best practices, compliance standards, and continuous improvement into project planning—ensuring every process contributes to faster, smarter, and more effective delivery. Your insights will help shape the future of environmental programme planning and make a lasting difference in coalfield communities.

We don’t expect candidates to meet every single desired qualification. If your experience looks a little different from what we've identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we'd love to learn more about you!
