About the Role:

We’re looking for a driven and detail-oriented Project Scheduler to join our Bristol-based team. You’ll play a key role in developing, integrating, and maintaining project schedules across a dynamic portfolio. If you thrive on structure, love working with people, and have a knack for balancing timelines, risks, and resources — we’d love to hear from you.

This is a customer-facing role where your ability to communicate clearly and influence stakeholders will be just as important as your technical skills.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Develop, maintain, and manage resourced, time-phased project schedules across multiple projects
• Create and maintain risk-adjusted schedules and conduct Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA)
• Support Earned Value Management (EVM) by integrating cost, schedule, and scope data
• Track performance, identify delays or deviations, and develop mitigation plans
• Facilitate baseline change control and produce “what-if” scenarios
• Work closely with project managers, technical leads, and external stakeholders to ensure delivery against schedule
• Integrate Agile and Waterfall plans into overarching programme schedules
• Generate regular reports and dashboards to support visibility, control, and decision-making

What We’re Looking For:

• Practical knowledge of Schedule Risk Analysis, Earned Value Analysis, and baseline change control
• Proficiency with scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, and/or Asta Powerproject
• Strong understanding of project lifecycle, resource planning, and cost estimation
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills – able to work with stakeholders at all levels
• Highly organised, adaptable, and confident managing multiple priorities under pressure
• SC Clearance eligible (or currently cleared) and right to work in the UK

Desirable Qualifications:

• Certifications such as PMP, PMI-SP, PRINCE2, or similar
• Experience working in customer-facing environments or with government/regulated clients

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a collaborative, high-performing PMO team
• Work on diverse and impactful projects
• Access to career development and training
• Competitive salary and benefits package
