Job description

Overview

PMO Team Lead (199jc) - Twyford, Berkshire - £45 to 49k + Benefits

As part of continued expansion, my client is creating a brand-new Project Management Office (PMO) Team Lead role at their HQ in Twyford. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated leader to take charge of a growing PMO team, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECRUITMENT CONSULTANCY, WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EX MILITARY.

They have specifically requested someone from a military background who have led teams, coordinated complex operations, and thrived under pressure. Your ability to plan, organise, and deliver results while supporting your team will set you up for success.

The Role

• Lead, mentor, and develop a team of project managers and coordinators
• Oversee planning and delivery of key engineering/IT projects (e.g. networking, security systems, intelligence solutions)
• Drive consistent project governance, reporting, and resource management
• Monitor risks, budgets, and schedules to ensure smooth delivery
• Champion change management and continuous improvement across the business
• Report regularly to senior leadership, ensuring alignment with company objectives

What They are Looking For

• Strong leadership and organisational skills – military or civilian
• Experience in managing projects, people, or operations
• Knowledge of project management methods (PRINCE2, Agile, PMP, etc.) – useful but not essential
• A problem-solver with a proactive, “can-do” mindset
• Comfortable balancing multiple priorities and deadlines
• IT/engineering project experience is helpful but not a requirement

Why join my client?

• Newly created role – make it your own and shape the future of the PMO
• Be part of a growing, forward-thinking business with long-term opportunities
• Competitive salary + full benefits package (pension, life assurance, 25 days holiday + bank holidays, health & wellbeing support, training and development)
• Supportive working environment with a strong focus on values and teamwork

If you’re looking for your next challenge, where your leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving skills are valued and rewarded, we want to hear from you.

Please note that this role will be based on site in Twyford with little or no remote working available so you must live within a reasonable commute from the office.
