Overview
Lead Delivery Excellence. Enable Project Success. Engineer a Better future!
At AtkinsRéalis, our Digital PMO community is at the forefront of modern project delivery. We use data, digital tools and structured delivery practices to help teams plan, monitor and deliver some of the UK’s most important secure‑government programmes.
If you're early in your career and looking for a role where you can grow quickly, develop in-demand digital skills and contribute to work with real national impact, this is an excellent opportunity to build a strong foundation in PMO and project delivery.
You’ll join a supportive team of PMO specialists, analysts, project managers and delivery experts who will help you learn, develop and shape your career pathway within a high‑performing practice.
You’ll benefit from:
- Hands‑on experience supporting major programmes in secure government.
- Structured development and training, including PMO fundamentals, digital tools, data analytics, planning and project controls.
- A clear pathway for career development, with tailored learning and milestone progression.
- Exposure to digital tools including Power BI, MS Project, Power Automate, SharePoint Online, data visualisation tooling and delivery dashboards.
- A collaborative, supportive environment, with coaching from experienced PMO and Delivery professionals.
- Opportunities to engage in communities of practice and knowledge-sharing sessions.
- A culture built on inclusion, learning, and psychological safety, where your ideas and curiosity are valued.
Your role
As a Digital PMO Consultant, you’ll help bring structure, organisation and digital insight to project teams, ensuring the smooth operation of delivery activities across secure‑government programmes. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you’ll support the development of reporting dashboards, maintain delivery artefacts, manage governance cycles and help teams understand performance through data.
You’ll play a hands-on role in collecting and analysing project information, updating plans, preparing reporting materials, supporting risk and issue management, and ensuring project documentation is accurate and accessible. You’ll use digital tools to automate tasks, streamline processes and improve the quality of information used in decision-making. As you gain experience, you’ll take more ownership of PMO workstreams, contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, and support project managers and stakeholders in delivering successful outcomes. This is a role where you’ll learn quickly, develop strong digital and organisational skills, and build confidence working in secure, complex delivery environments.
In this role, you will:
- Support the setup and maintenance of digital PMO tools, dashboards and project repositories.
- Gather, review and maintain project data to support high‑quality reporting.
- Assist with project governance activities, including preparing packs, tracking actions and supporting meeting logistics.
- Help maintain risk, issue and dependency logs, ensuring updates are accurate and proactive.
- Support planning and schedule maintenance by collecting updates from workstream leads.
- Assist with financial tracking activities such as updating cost trackers or submitting month‑end information (with guidance).
- Use digital tools and automation to improve PMO processes and reduce manual effort.
- Build trusted working relationships with project teams, delivery managers and stakeholders.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within the Delivery Optimisation practice.
