Project Operations Manager
Project Operations Manager
We are seeking an organised and proactive Project Operations Manager to oversee the operational delivery of a varied portfolio of projects. This role will ensure that projects are well planned, effectively resourced and delivered to agreed timescales, budgets and quality standards. You will work closely with project leads, internal teams, suppliers and senior stakeholders to maintain momentum and support successful outcomes.
The successful candidate will bring structure, consistency and clear communication to project operations. You will monitor progress, identify risks and dependencies, improve processes and provide accurate reporting to support informed decision-making. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working across multiple projects and can balance strategic oversight with hands-on coordination.
Key responsibilities
- Coordinate project planning, mobilisation, governance and delivery activities across multiple workstreams.
- Maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, risk registers, issue logs and action trackers.
- Monitor milestones, resources, costs and performance, escalating concerns and recommending corrective action where required.
- Prepare clear progress reports, dashboards and papers for project boards and senior stakeholders.
- Organise meetings, workshops and governance forums, ensuring decisions and actions are recorded and followed through.
- Support resource planning, procurement, supplier management and the implementation of agreed processes.
- Identify opportunities to improve project controls, operational efficiency and ways of working.
- Promote effective collaboration, accountability and consistent standards across project teams.
About you
You will have proven experience in project operations, project coordination or a similar management role, ideally within a complex or fast-paced environment. You should be confident managing competing priorities, working with stakeholders at different levels and using project management tools and reporting systems.
Strong organisational, analytical and communication skills are essential, together with excellent attention to detail and a practical, solutions-focused approach. Experience with risk management, budget monitoring, governance frameworks and continuous improvement would be advantageous. The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team is also important.
This role offers the opportunity to make a visible contribution to high-profile projects while developing robust operational practices and supporting positive change.
