You’ll be proficient in reporting and data analysis tools such as Power BI, Excel, and scheduling platforms such as Primavera P6, MS Project. You’ll have the ability to interpret complex data sets and present findings in a clear, concise format, and skilled in developing dashboards and visual reports that support decision-making. You’ll have a degree or equivalent experience in Project Management, or a related discipline. APM/PMI certification (e.g. PMQ, CAPM) or P6 scheduling accreditation, and training or qualifications in project controls, delay analysis, or Earned Value Management (EVM) would all be desirable.
