• Manage client expectations through clear, proactive communication and regular progress updates.
• Prepare and present accurate project reporting to the Head of Delivery, covering progress, cost, risk and resource.
• Maintain accurate, detailed and up-to-date project records in the company CRM (Notion), ensuring information is current and accessible to the wider team at all times.
• Keep project files organised and correctly structured within company systems (Google Drive), following established filing conventions.
• Set up and maintain project communication channels (Slack) promptly and correctly at project mobilisation.
• Complete thorough, documented handovers ahead of any planned absence so that live projects continue without disruption.
• Use quieter periods proactively for professional development, process improvement and preparation for upcoming projects.
• Proven experience managing the delivery of multiple projects simultaneously.
• Experience within the EV charging infrastructure sector.
• Ability to work to strict deadlines and manage competing priorities.
• Experience monitoring and working within project budgets.
• Strong client-facing skills with the ability to manage expectations professionally.
