Programme Scheduler – Site Engineering Projects
Location: Hybrid – Primarily Remote, Occasional Travel to Hampshire or Crawley
Contract Length: 6 Months Initially (Potential Extension to March 2026)
IR35 Status: Inside IR35
We’re looking for a seasoned Programme or Senior Project Scheduler/Manager with a strong background in supplier coordination and complex engineering environments with strong stakeholder management expertise.
This isn’t your typical site rollout project. You’ll be managing a series of technical engineering initiatives across a 300-site+ network, including:
* Telemetry upgrades – overseeing the black box swap that governs how gas is measured and communicated between sites.
* Physical security enhancements – updating systems like CCTV and site access controls.
* Computer hardware and network modernisation.
These projects won’t all impact every site, but coordination is key. Some sites may have multiple projects underway and rolling out changes on a live operational network isn’t easy. There’s significant prep work to get on-site – including health and safety paperwork that can take up to 6 weeks per location.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Acting as the central point of coordination across multiple projects and suppliers
* Navigating complex site access and compliance requirements
* Supporting cost-effective delivery and smooth implementation
* Reporting to senior stakeholders
* Managing internal comms to ensure alignment across departments
* Bringing structure to a fast-moving, technically detailed programme
What We’re Looking For:
* A calm, confident project/programme manager with presence and patience – not a big-budget exec, but someone hands-on with the gravitas to speak with senior leaders
* Strong experience managing multiple suppliers and navigating complex logistics
* Ideally from a regulated or safety-critical industry (utilities, energy, facilities, infrastructure, etc.)
