Role Overview
This role supports the Development Director, Project Director and Senior Infrastructure & OFCI Manager as the central coordination and controls point for the Nscale owner team. It is a hands-on, detail-focused position responsible for keeping governance cadence running, information flowing, and the project leadership team prepared and always informed.
The role ensures the Nscale team has a clear, current and accurate picture of programme status across all workstreams, that actions are tracked and followed up, and that nothing falls through the gaps between the owner team and delivery structure. The position ensures that governance reporting framework is maintained and Nscale’s internal executive project reporting is controlled and produced with input as required.
The right candidate will be highly organised, proactive and comfortable working at pace across multiple concurrent workstreams. They will be as comfortable preparing a board-level reporting pack as they are chasing an overdue action from a subcontractor’s programme manager.
Key Responsibilities
Governance Cadence & Meeting Coordination
Coordinate the owner team’s governance rhythm — prepare agendas, circulate pre-reads, attend key meetings and produce concise minutes and action logs on behalf of the Nscale team.
Track all actions arising from governance meetings: ensure owners are clearly assigned, due dates are set, and outstanding items are actively followed up without waiting to be asked.

Coordinate reporting pack preparation for the Development Director — consolidating inputs from across the Nscale team into clean, consistent weekly and monthly outputs.
Programme Visibility & Tracking
Coordinate programme and schedule information received from the delivery teams — sense-checking inputs for consistency, flagging gaps or discrepancies, and presenting a consolidated picture to the Development Director and project leadership.
Maintain the owner-side programme tracker — mapping key milestones, critical dates and owner interface obligations across design, procurement, licensing, construction, infrastructure, commissioning and handover workstreams.
Monitor key milestone progress and flag deviations, slippage or emerging dependencies to the relevant Nscale lead — ensuring nothing drifts without the leadership team being aware.
Track owner-side obligations and inputs — approvals, decisions, information releases, OFCI milestones — ensuring the Nscale team is not th
