PMO Lead

What Your Impact Is

• Ensure system compliance by aligning project delivery with ERM’s processes, tools, and governance frameworks.
• Support effective project execution through hands-on involvement in delivery activities and problem-solving.
• Drive resource planning and forecasting, ensuring the right talent is allocated to projects at the right time.
• Monitor and manage project risks, proactively identifying issues and supporting mitigation strategies.
• Contribute to financial oversight, including budgeting and utilization tracking.
• Provide leadership and guidance to team members, while maintaining a strong focus on delivery and outcomes (people leadership is important but secondary to execution in this role).

What You Will Bring

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in environmental science, engineering, sustainability, or a related field.
• 15+ years of relevant experience in project delivery, PMO, or consulting environments.
• Strong understanding of project delivery frameworks, system compliance, and governance structures.
• Proven experience in resource forecasting, budgeting, and project planning.
• Demonstrated ability to manage risk and support project teams in execution.

Preferred

• Experience working in consulting or technical project environments.
• Familiarity with enterprise PMO systems and compliance tools.
• Strong stakeholder coordination and problem-solving capabilities.
• Experience supporting large, multi-disciplinary project teams.

Key Responsibilities

System & Compliance Oversight

• Ensure projects adhere to ERM’s systems, processes, and compliance requirements.
• Provide guidance on how projects should be structured and delivered within established frameworks.

Project Delivery Support

• Work closely with project teams to support execution and resolve delivery challenges.
• Act as a key partner in ensuring projects are delivered efficiently and effectively.

Resourcing & Forecasting

• Lead resource planning, allocation, and forecasting activities.
• Ensure optimal utilization of team members across projects.

Risk & Financial Management

• Identify, monitor, and mitigate project risks.
• Support budgeting, cost tracking, and financial performance management.

Team Support & Coordination

• Provide guidance and oversight to team members, with a focus on enabling delivery success.
• Foster collaboration across teams and functions to drive project outcomes.

What Sets This Role Apart

This is not a traditional people-manager role. While team leadership is part of the position, the primary focus is on hands-on project support, system compliance, and operational excellence. The ideal candidate is someone who is deeply familiar with how projects run day-to-day and can step in to guide, support, and improve delivery outcomes.
