Contribute to development of historical data and benchmarking for future estimating

Key Skills and Experience

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Project, Primevera P6, or equivalent scheduling tools
Understanding of critical path analysis, dependencies, and schedule risk
Experience working within project delivery environments (engineering, infrastructure, or similar)
Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
Excellent communication skills, with ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Desirable

Experience in project controls environments (cost, risk, commercial integration)
Familiarity with NEC contracts and project lifecycle delivery
Knowledge of Earned Value Management (EVM)
Experience supporting multi-project or programme environments

Personal Attributes

Highly organised and detail-oriented
Proactive and confident in challenging assumptions
