Programme Scheduler – Site Engineering Projects

Programme Scheduler - Site Engineering Projects
Location: Hybrid - Primarily Remote, Occasional Travel to Hampshire or Crawley
Contract Length: 6 Months Initially (Potential Extension to March 2026)
IR35 Status: Inside IR35

We're looking for a seasoned Programme or Senior Project Scheduler/Manager with a strong background in supplier coordination and complex engineering environments with strong stakeholder management expertise.

This isn't your typical site rollout project. You'll be managing a series of technical engineering initiatives across a 300-site+ network, including:

• Telemetry upgrades - overseeing the black box swap that governs how gas is measured and communicated between sites.
• Physical security enhancements - updating systems like CCTV and site access controls.
• Computer hardware and network modernisation.

These projects won't all impact every site, but coordination is key. Some sites may have multiple projects underway and rolling out changes on a live operational network isn't easy. There's significant prep work just to get on-site - including health and safety paperwork that can take up to 6 weeks per location.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Acting as the central point of coordination across multiple projects and suppliers
• Navigating complex site access and compliance requirements
• Supporting cost-effective delivery and smooth implementation
• Reporting to senior stakeholders
• Managing internal comms to ensure alignment across departments
• Bringing structure to a fast-moving, technically detailed programme

What We're Looking For:

• A calm, confident project/programme manager with presence and patience - not a big-budget exec, but someone hands-on with the gravitas to speak with senior leaders
• Strong experience managing multiple suppliers and navigating complex logistics
• Ideally from a regulated or safety-critical industry (utilities, energy, facilities, infrastructure, etc.)
