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 hybrid from Kent, for the duration of the contract
Desirable Experience
