About the role
We’ve an amazing new opportunity to become our new Centre of Excellence (CoE) Coordinator, reporting into the Centre of Excellence (CoE) Manager within our Asset Programme Management Office (PMO). We see this role as essential to realising our National Leader ambitions and we’re looking for a super organised, outgoing and motivated professional with proven experience in a fast-paced Programme Office (PMO) environment or similar environment.
You’ll be responsible for supporting the development of a new Centre of Excellence (CoE) function within the Northumbrian Water PMO, developing, embedding, and improving on business processes, tools, and systems. You’ll be responsible for supporting the Centre of Excellence Manager in ensuring our projects and programmes adopt this best practice to maximise benefits delivered from Northumbrian Water’s delivery.
We’re looking for you to take accountability for supporting the development, maintenance, and communication of business processes, project controls, resource planning, and best practice procedures. You’ll also reinforce the role, responsibilities, and purpose of the CoE across the PMO and broader Northumbrian Water operations, acting as a representative for the CoE in meetings and cross-function discussions.
Join us in an exciting opportunity to shape project delivery by fostering collaborative relationships across Northumbrian Water. As a vital member of our Centre of Excellence (CoE), you'll play a key role in maintaining transparent and supportive connections throughout the organisation. Your efforts will enable resilience and flexibility within the CoE, empowering the PMO to fulfil its responsibilities efficiently through shared resources and strategic business planning.
In this dynamic role, you'll take the lead in coordinating and overseeing routine activities to ensure the CoE consistently meets monthly reporting requirements and exceeds expectations.

About you
Are you ready to leverage your expertise in project delivery and stakeholder management to drive success in a dynamic team environment?
In this role, you'll bring your proven track record of adept stakeholder management and your communication skills will be crucial as you influence the project and program community to adopt best practices and foster relationships across diverse disciplines and hierarchies. As you will be supporting the delivery of complex projects or programs, a comprehensive understanding of project controls, governance, and reporting would be preferable but not essential.
Furthermore, your experience in maintaining and communicating business processes, guidance, and standards will be invaluable in ensuring alignment and understanding throughout the organisation.
We're seeking someone who has contributed to high-performing teams, who has the ability to work independently teamed with creative thinking and proactivity to drive items of work forward.
You’ll also have a strong grasp of routine performance reporting and project management tools, data analysis, and crafting presentations. If you are an outgoing team player with strong communication skills and you have a knack for effective document management and record-keeping, including expertise in information and file management structures, you're the ideal candidate we're looking for.
If this opportunity resonates with you, we eagerly await your application.
