Project Coordinator
G4S
Date: 5 days ago
City: Tewkesbury
Contract type: Full time
9 Month Fixed Term Contract
Hybrid- Tewkesbury & adhoc travel to customer locations in hubs Leeds & London.
Job Summary / Purpose
The primary function of the Project Coordinator (PC) is to act as an administrative and coordination support for the PMO for the implementation of a new service management system as part of a wider programme of change.
The role will initially be heavily focused on customer-facing activities, primarily facilitating meetings, workshops, and other project related events to support project planning and scoping. The PC will then support the delivery of the change project by coordinating with project managers, team members and stakeholders to ensure project objectives and milestones are met, keeping financial penalties to a minimum. The PC will utilise robust project tracking and reporting methods and tools to support the timely and quality delivery of the project. The PC will also deputise for the Project Manager when called upon, and may be required to support the wider team in other projects within the programme.
The position will also require strong administrative and organisational skills.
This is a hybrid role, requiring a mix of remote, and in-office presence, with the expectation to join the project delivery team in the Tewkesbury hub at least once a week. The role will also involve ad hoc travel to customer locations and hubs, thus a driving licence is required for this position.
The position requires the candidate to be flexible around the demands and requirements of the relevant projects which may include occasional evening and weekend working.
A positive and flexible attitude to teamwork and a willingness to learn and get stuck in is critical as the PC will need to support the team members and other workstreams as required with tasks and deliverables of the project.
