- Contributing to PMO governance, milestone forecasting, and risk-informed decision making.
What You’ll Bring:

Essential skills and experience:
- Solid understanding of project cost structures, work package reporting, and schedule dependencies.
- Experience reconciling control accounts, managing baselines, and supporting budget change control.
