PMO Consultant

At AtkinsRéalis, our PMO teams help bring structure, control and confidence to complex programmes. As a PMO Consultant within our Secure Government practice, you'll support delivery across important projects that contribute to national security and resilience, applying your existing PMO experience in a challenging and rewarding client environment. You'll join a collaborative PMO community and work alongside delivery, technical, commercial and transformation specialists who value strong controls, continuous improvement and shared learning. It's a chance to develop your experience in a supportive environment while contributing to high-profile client outcomes. We are recruiting for multiple PMO Consultant roles across a range of consultant levels. We welcome candidates with transferable skills from project-based environments, established PMO generalists, and PMO specialists in areas such as planning, reporting, governance, controls, finance, risk, benefits, change and assurance. Some roles may include emerging workstream, people or technical leadership, but these are not senior PMO leadership roles. You'll benefit from:

• Purpose-driven work at the heart of secure-government delivery.
• Hybrid working, with most time onsite to build relationships, access secure systems and operate effectively in high-integrity delivery environments.
• Clear opportunities to develop your PMO capability, build confidence in your area, and progress over time as your experience grows.
• Advanced training, tools and frameworks, including financial controls, risk and assurance, planning, PMO transformation and change.
• The AtkinsRéalis Certified Project Professional (ACPP) fast-track route to APM Chartership.
• A supportive PMO community with access to experienced colleagues, mentoring and practical development opportunities.
• Inclusive networks (Women in Defence, Military networks, DE&I groups).
• Meaningful work during the vetting process, if clearance is required.
