Maidstone, United Kingdom Kent County Council Full time

Advert
We’re looking for a Graduate PMO Project Officer to support, monitor and review activity relating to specific projects within the Growth, Environment & Transport (GET) Directorate.

The GET Directorate is made up of a mix of key frontline, strategic, policy and commercial functions and plays a major role in making Kent a better place to live, work and visit. The services provided, and the future growth we help to shape, affects every household in Kent. Our work supports everything from transport improvement schemes and waste disposal services to the maintenance of country parks and libraries. Everything we do is about making Kent the county it needs to be for the future and, in this vital role, you’ll have a key part to play in our work.

You’ll support a range of projects across the Directorate at every stage of their lifecycle. This includes everything from the pre-assessment, initiation, and planning to the management, development and closure of projects. You’ll also monitor and evaluate the progress of work, identifying issues and scope for improvement. All the way through you’ll provide advice and support to other teams across the Directorate, ensuring processes are in accordance with governance expectations.

To ensure standards are met you’ll gather, collate, maintain and analyse monitoring and performance information for all stages of our projects. This means you’ll research PMO best practice and industry developments, as well as engage with other teams to encourage shared learning. What’s more, you’ll get the opportunity to communicate with stakeholders, building effective working relationships to ensure informed decision making takes place.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position. The Council therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English/Welsh sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements. The appropriate standards are set out in the Job Description/Person Specification.
