Job Description

Delivery Manager (Portfolio Performance and Operations)

Could you help shape the future of delivery across PSC Europe?

We have a brilliant opportunity for a commercially minded Delivery Manager to strengthen how we oversee project performance, deploy our people and turn project, resource and financial information into clear action.

This is a visible, influential role working across our European business. You will provide the operational control point for delivery performance across a varied portfolio, ensuring project health, resource constraints and commercial risks are identified early, addressed proactively and translated into meaningful action.

This is a broad, commercial and operational leadership position, focused on portfolio health, utilisation, resource planning, forecasting and consistent project governance. Working closely with the General Manager Europe, technical leaders and Finance, you will help the business make well-informed decisions, improve delivery performance and continue delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

The energy transition is vital to our future and here at PSC, we are compelled to make a difference. We are specialist consultants to the energy industry, an independent firm with global operations. For 30 years, our teams have tackled complex challenges for some of the industry's most prominent organisations. Our vision is to empower people to transform the energy industry so that, together, we will power a more sustainable world.

At PSC, we want work to enhance your life, not dominate it.

• We thrive in a culture where people are our greatest asset and we celebrate and value the individual.
• We have an entrepreneurial spirit, welcome bright ideas and are always looking to improve.
• We provide a flexible working environment and trust our people to deliver.
• We offer meaningful growth and leadership opportunities in autonomous roles.
• We are a highly collaborative global team helping to define the future of the energy industry.
• We offer competitive compensation and benefits, including BUPA private medical insurance, life insurance and annual income protection.

Our teams generally benefit from hybrid and remote working arrangements across the UK. Occasional travel will be required to support collaboration with colleagues, clients and project teams.

What You'll Do

You will shape and maintain a practical operating rhythm across PSC Europe, giving leaders a clear view of project health, resources, commercial performance and priorities. Your responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining a portfolio-wide view of project health and ensuring recovery plans are in place for projects requiring attention.
• Leading regular project and portfolio health reviews, working with consultants and technical leaders to identify risks, resolve issues and improve delivery performance.
• Creating consistent, proportionate controls across scope, programme, budget, risk, change and commercial performance.
• Leading the utilisation review cadence, identifying underused capacity and coordinating action to improve billable deployment.
• Maintaining a forward view of resource demand, capacity, bottlenecks and capability risks across Europe.
• Monitoring revenue, cost, margin, work in progress, invoicing, variations and forecast-to-complete positions, with early escalation of material exposure.
• Turning project, resource, pipeline and financial data into concise, decision-focused insight.
• Working with technical leaders and delivery owners to agree clear actions, owners and timescales, then driving these through to closure.
• Helping PSC simplify and strengthen its delivery practices without creating unnecessary process or administration.

You

You will be a commercially astute delivery or operations leader who is comfortable working across a portfolio rather than focusing on one project. You combine strong operational discipline with sound judgement, clear communication and the confidence to challenge constructively.

Ideally, you:

• Have experience in delivery management, portfolio oversight or operational performance within engineering, consultancy, infrastructure or professional services.
• Understand how a consultancy or project-based business operates, including utilisation, revenue, margin, work in progress, invoicing and forecasting.
• Can balance project governance with a pragmatic, proportionate approach that improves outcomes rather than adding process.
• Have experience of resource and capacity planning across multiple projects, teams or disciplines.
• Can identify delivery or commercial exposure early and help leaders establish realistic recovery actions.
• Are confident translating complex or imperfect data into clear insight, decisions and priorities for senior leaders.
• Can build credibility with Project Managers, technical specialists, Finance and senior stakeholders, influencing without relying on hierarchy.
• Bring high standards of accuracy, follow-through and accountability, while remaining collaborative and solutions focused.

Why This Role Matters

This is an opportunity to make a visible impact on how PSC Europe operates and grows. You will help improve the clarity, consistency and commercial focus of our delivery model, while working alongside talented technical experts on projects supporting the transformation of the energy industry.

We wouldn't be where we are today without our amazing people. We are passionate about contributing to a meaningful mission and proud of the culture we have built. If you have been searching for a human-centric environment where you can shape how a business delivers, we would love to tell you more.
