## About the Role

* Proven track record working in project delivery - you've lived it, not just reported on it. This is non-negotiable. Major projects exp
 * Knowledge of Project Controls and systems - cost, schedule, earned value, risk, change.
 * Advanced Power BI - DAX, data modelling, automated pipelines, governance. You build reporting environments, not just dashboards.
 * Experience integrating data from Project Controls tools like P6.
 * The credibility and communication skills to hold your own with senior stakeholders - planners, commercial leads, programme directors, and clients.
 * A natural lead - someone who can shape standards, coach analysts, and drive the digital reporting agenda forward.

Bonus: experience in nuclear, defence, rail, aviation, water, or major infrastructure environments.

This is the role where a strong Reporting Specialist stops being "the Power BI person" and becomes the leader of digital reporting on programmes that actually matter.

## Description

We're looking for a Lead Reporting Specialist to own the reporting function on some of the UK's most significant civil engineering and infrastructure programmes. This is a senior seat - the person who sets the standard, builds the stack, and makes sure the numbers actually land in the boardroom.

If you've spent your career inside project delivery, know Project Controls inside-out, and can build reporting that executives, PMs, and planners all trust - this one's for you.

This isn't a reporting job where you sit on the sidelines. You'll lead the digital reporting capability across cost, schedule, risk, and performance - shaping how programme directors and senior stakeholders see the truth of their projects. The reports you build will drive go/no-go calls, trend conversations, and board-level decisions on billion-pound programmes.

You'll set the architecture, raise the standard, and mentor the analysts underneath you. Your voice will carry weight from day one.
