  • Understand technical requirements and translate them into actionable project plans
• Project Management
  • Develop and maintain detailed project and programme plans across multiple migration streams
  • Track progress using tools like burndown charts (e.g., endpoint migration of 400+ PCs)
  • Manage ticket allocation, workload tracking, and stakeholder reporting
  • Liaise with remote delivery managers and technical teams to ensure alignment and timely execution

Required Skills & Experience

• Technical (L3 Infrastructure)
  • Proven experience in desktop deployments (Windows 10/11)
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for PC and endpoint issues to L3 standard
  • Hands-on experience with on-prem infrastructure (not cloud-focused)

• Project Management
  • Experience coordinating with cross-functional technical teams
  • Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills
  • Familiarity with PMO practices, ITIL, and Agile methodologies

• Previous experience in separation programmes or large-scale IT transformations is a plus
