• Solid understanding of Project Management processes and tools, including risk, cost, configuration, and stakeholder management.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multidisciplinary teams through all project phases, from concept to close.

• Familiarity with Primavera P6 or equivalent project scheduling tools.
• Formal project management certification (e.g. APM, PMP, Prince2).
• Experience mentoring or developing junior project staff.

Bonus : Up to 21% of base salary (dependent on company performance).
• Pension : Flexible working : Options for part-time or compressed hours (4 or 5 days).
