We’re at a big turning point at SGN.
The world is changing fast — expectations from customers,
communities, regulators and our stakeholders are rising. Technology is moving
quicker than ever. We need to catch up and then stay ahead if we want to be the
best GDN in the UK. We need to make sure we’re set up for success. We’re
already making great progress with a new CEO and Executive Team, a new COO
function and we’ve just moved from five to nine regions in our Southern
network, creating closer communities for our people. We’ve opened a Business
Services Centre, giving everyone easier access to the services they need,
and we’ve brought in 550 new vans, with hundreds more on the way.
But this is just the beginning. We’re focusing on three
big goals:
Supporting our frontline first
Cutting waste, not corners
Working smarter, together
We’ve already started work on a five-year programme that
will help us achieve our goals, and our journey will continue over the next 3-4
years.
We’re now offering fantastic opportunities
for colleagues to help us on this exciting journey.
The FSP / BPR Project Support role is responsible for
supporting the effective delivery of the Finance Simplification Programme (FSP)
and Business Process Review (BPR). Working closely with Programme and
Initiative Leads, the role ensures delivery activities are tracked and governed
effectively, enabling progress against time, cost, and quality objectives.
We deliver safety, warmth,
and comfort to homes and businesses. Every role, whether in the office or on
the front line, plays a key part in this mission. Here’s how you will
contribute…
Your Role and Impact
As
a key member of our programme delivery team, you will:
Collaborate
with the Programme Manager and Initiative Lead to ensure successful
delivery of programme outcomes within defined timelines, budgets, and
quality standards.
Help
develop, maintain, and manage detailed project plans, schedules, and
budgets to keep all workstreams aligned and on track.
Monitor
progress across projects, identifying and helping to resolve any issues
that may affect delivery.
Assist
in identifying, documenting, and tracking project risks, issues, and
dependencies, escalating them promptly for resolution.
Support
the preparation of project reports, dashboards, and status updates to aid
effective governance and informed decision-making.
Organise
and help facilitate project meetings and workshops to maintain momentum
and engagement.
What You’ll Bring
Strong
analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a knack for interpreting
complex project data.
Familiarity
with project and programme management frameworks such as PRINCE2, MSP, or
Agile (preferred but not required).
Excellent
communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to coordinate
across teams.
Proficiency
in Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel, Word, and
PowerPoint.
Great
attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
Experience
supporting large-scale transformation or process improvement initiatives
is a plus.
Not sure you
meet every requirement?
Research shows some
people – particularly women and those from underrepresented backgrounds – may
hesitate to apply unless they meet every criteria. At SGN, we value
diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
If this role interests
you but you’re not sure you tick every box, we’d still love to hear from you.
You might be just who we’re looking for – now or in the future and we have a
large team to support you and help you develop in this role.
Why SGN?
SGN is a leader in pioneering research and development
toward a net-zero energy system. Our cutting-edge technologies and innovative
thinking are driving change in the gas industry, all while keeping people
safe and warm.
