Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Freedom with responsibility: work from home, manage your own schedule, and stay close to the action with regular site visits.

  • Real influence: you’ll shape how projects are planned, delivered, and closed, using proper APM‑level methodology.

  • Prince 2 Qualification or a strong knowledge of the methodology is essential to have for this position.

What’s In It For You:

  • Salary: £50,000 – £60,000 based on your experience, plus a profit share to add a little extra sparkle to your pay packet.
  • Holiday: 24 days a year + bank holidays. Plus, an extra day for every 5 years of service and another day at 10 years of service.
  • Benefits: Life insurance (x3 your salary post-probation), pension, salary sacrifice, and a range of employee wellbeing perks, including free counselling and an Employee Assistance Programme.
  • Work-Life Balance: Remote role working 45-hour week, Monday to Friday, with flexibility towards working times due to the nature of the work.
  • Company Perks: Two all-expenses-paid company events each year – one in the summer, one in the winter.
  • Company Car: you have the option to have a company car once you have successfully completed your probationary period.

If you’re motivated, organised, and ready to take on projects that genuinely challenge and develop you, you’ll fit right in. Don’t miss this opportunity to take the next step in your career – apply now!
