We have an exciting opportunity for a PMO Programme Analyst to join the Programme Delivery team at Yorkshire Water and be a part of helping Yorkshire Water to provide the best service to our customers. Could this be you?

What we do: 

Everyone has an idea of what a water company does. Here in Yorkshire, we make sure that over 5.4 million people living in the region and the millions of people who visit our region each year, can rely on our services, and have clean and safe drinking water on tap and that their wastewater is taken away. But for us, it’s so much more than this. 

We look after communities, protect the environment, and plan to look after Yorkshire’s water, today, tomorrow 24/7, 365 days a year. We provide essential water and wastewater services to every corner of the Yorkshire region, and play a key role in the region’s health, wellbeing, and prosperity.  

New environmental legislation, unprecedented levels of investment and changing expectations from customers means that this is an exciting time to discover opportunities within the water industry. 

Our newly formed Storm Overflow Alliance will play a key part of how we plan to meet the changing expectations of customers and regulators. The Overflow Alliance is a collaborative enterprise formed between Yorkshire Water and our supply chain partners that will redefine how we deliver projects and programmes. This role will form part of a high performing, integrated team which will deliver the programme in a way that is industry leading and supports Yorkshire Water’s strategy for ‘a thriving Yorkshire: right for our customers and right for the environment.  

You will require a good understanding of working in a PMO environment and be able to drive required governance, controls and assurance to support the delivery of projects to time, cost and quality targets and support the success of the Alliance.

Where you fit in: 

As a PMO Programme Analyst you will; 

• Support the Alliance PMO Manager in establishing and enhancing the Alliance portfolio governance and assurance processes
• Drive and monitor governance standards throughout the Alliance project lifecycle
• Promote rigour, quality, and standardisation through the portfolio
• Document, communicate and embed Alliance governance and assurance processes 
• Challenge non-compliance with required governance and processes and escalate appropriately
• Provide support, advice, and guidance to all stakeholders from day-to-day Project Management activities through to Alliance Board requirements 
• Act as a link between the Alliance PMO and the Programme Delivery PMO to give confidence that the necessary governance, assurance, and control activities are being effectively applied 
• Develop and seek to continuously improve processes, standards, and tools

We embrace a flexible working model, where our hybrid setup requires you to be in the office for collaborative efforts, training or where meeting deadlines demand it. For those who prefer to work on-site, our office is open Monday-Friday during working hours.  

If you’re an experienced PMO Analyst and want to help us deliver exceptional service for our customers whilst protecting the environment, then apply today to find out what a career with Yorkshire Water can offer for you.
