The Opportunity

Join our 2027 Graduate Programme as a Graduate PMO Consultant in one of our vibrant Scottish offices, where you will become part of a market-leading Energy & Resources Advisory Services discipline.

About The Role

As a graduate consultant, you will balance technical learning with practical project delivery to support major infrastructure programmes across the UK. You will sit within our local Programme & Commercial Management team of specialists in either Edinburgh or Glasgow, fully supported by a wider national Energy Advisory Services team. We operate as a fully integrated multidisciplinary business, bringing together programme management, commercial management, business transformation, digital advisory, engineering, and asset management expertise to deliver complex infrastructure programmes.

Your core responsibilities will include:

  • PMO Governance & Reporting: Assisting with governance, risk management, action tracking, performance monitoring, and compiling reporting metrics.
  • Project Controls & Coordination: Supporting core programme and project management activities, including planning, scheduling, and project coordination.
  • Data Analysis & Reporting: Analysing project data, identifying trends, and preparing clear reports, presentations, and client-facing documentation.
  • Meeting & Stakeholder Support: Attending client and project meetings, documenting key decisions, tracking actions, and communicating technical info to varied stakeholders.
  • Business Transformation: Supporting business transformation, process improvement, and organisational change initiatives for our clients.
  • Digital & Information Management: Assisting with information management, digital delivery, and data-driven decision-making activities.

We are committed to supporting employees in achieving relevant professional qualifications and accreditation. The applicable professional qualification for this role is Chartered Consultant status with the Association for Project Management (APM) or relevant professional bodies, backed by discipline-specific training pathways via the House of PMO and internal Programme Management routes.

Your Impact

In this role, you will help shape the UK’s energy transition and major infrastructure resilience. Supporting high-profile programmes across electricity transmission, distribution, and nuclear sectors—for key clients like National Grid and SSEN Transmission—you will go beyond simple data analysis. Working alongside multidisciplinary experts, your contribution to PMO governance, digital transformation, and asset management will directly enable clean growth, modernised networks, and lasting, sustainable legacies for the communities we serve.

About you:
