We're at a big turning point at SGN.
The world is changing fast - expectations from customers, communities, regulators and our stakeholders are rising. Technology is moving quicker than ever. We need to catch up and then stay ahead if we want to be the best GDN in the UK. We need to make sure we're set up for success. We're already making great progress with a new CEO and Executive Team, a new COO function and we've just moved from five to nine regions in our Southern network, creating closer communities for our people. We've opened a Business Services Centre, giving everyone easier access to the services they need, and we've brought in 550 new vans, with hundreds more on the way.
But this is just the beginning. We're focusing on three big goals:
- Supporting our frontline first
- Cutting waste, not corners
- Working smarter, together
We've already started work on a five-year programme that will help us achieve our goals, and our journey will continue over the next 3-4 years.
We're now offering fantastic opportunities for colleagues to help us on this exciting journey.
The PMO Coordinator plays a critical interface role within the COO portfolio, offering agile and practical support across transformation initiatives. This role ensures effective tracking, governance, and representation across programmes and provides additional capacity where Project or Programme Managers are not assigned.
About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical PMO Coordinator to support the Business Project Management Office in monitoring and improving project delivery across the organisation. You will be responsible for gathering, analysing, and reporting project data to ensure projects align with timelines, budgets, and quality standards. Your insights will help drive informed decision-making and enhance programme governance
We deliver safety, warmth, and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here's how you will contribute
- Collect, validate, and analyse project and programme data across multiple workstreams.
- Prepare and maintain project dashboards, status reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs) for senior stakeholders.
- Support the PMO in tracking project progress, risks, issues, and dependencies.
- Assist in the development and continuous improvement of PMO processes, templates, and tools.
- Coordinate project documentation and ensure version control and compliance with governance standards.
- Facilitate communication between project teams and stakeholders by providing timely and accurate project information.
- Support the identification and escalation of project risks and issues to appropriate stakeholders.
- Assist with organising project meetings, workshops, and governance forums.
What you will need
- Previous experience in a PMO, project support, or project coordination role.
- Strong analytical and data management skills.
- Proficiency in project management tools such as Microsoft Project, Jira, Power BI, or Excel.
- Good understanding of project management methodologies (e.g., PRINCE2, Agile) is advantageous.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities.
