Technical Analysis Lead (PMO)

About this role

Egis is supporting the delivery of a complex, multi-billion-pound portfolio of major infrastructure through increasingly programmatic and collaborative delivery models. Strong technical assurance and high-quality insight are essential to protect programme integrity and support confident decision-making. The Technical Analysis Lead is a senior specialist role within the PMO. You will provide independent, evidence-based technical assurance of schedules, delay events, tender submissions and material programme changes, while translating detailed analysis into clear insight at project, programme and portfolio level.

Acting independently from delivery, you will be a trusted technical authority for governance forums, commercial decision-making and senior leadership. Responsibilities Provide independent technical assurance of delay events from a programme and schedule perspective, testing cause, effect and critical-path impact. Validate the quality and completeness of contemporaneous evidence and challenge assumptions, logic, sequencing and modelling approaches.

Assess schedule structure, logic integrity, constraints, float paths and interfaces, identifying weaknesses and unrealistic assumptions. Test schedule robustness at baseline, re-baseline and recovery stages, providing early warning of technical schedule risk. Evaluate tender and proposal schedules, benchmarking durations, productivity assumptions and sequencing against established norms. Identify optimism bias, under-developed logic and high-risk assumptions, presenting clear evidence-based findings to commercial and governance teams.

Support decisions on change, intervention, re-baselining and recovery strategy, clearly separating technical fact from opinion or assumption. Translate assurance outputs and performance data into programme and portfolio insight, including trends, recurring weaknesses and systemic issues. Share learning, comparative analysis and benchmarking across projects and contractors to support delivery excellence. Experience Strong background in programme controls, schedule analysis and forensic planning techniques.

Experience of delivery and management on transmission projects within a regulated environment, gained across contractor, client and/or consultancy settings. Proven experience providing independent technical assurance on complex infrastructure programmes. Advanced knowledge of critical-path analysis, delay analysis methodologies and schedule diagnostics. Expert capability in planning tools and techniques, particularly Primavera P6.
