  • Knowledge of Gantt chart development and Critical Path Analysis.
  • Resource allocation and capacity planning expertise.
  • Experience reporting against project performance metrics, including SPI and CPI.
  • Understanding of risk management within project planning environments.

Desirable

  • Project Management qualification such as PRINCE2, APM PMQ, or equivalent experience.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented, and able to work independently.
