What you will do

• Coordinate owner-team governance rhythm: agendas, pre-reads, meeting attendance, and concise minutes/action logs.
• Maintain decision registers and ensure actions are assigned, due dates set, and overdue items are actively followed up.
• Track programme status and milestones across workstreams (design, procurement, licensing, construction, infrastructure, commissioning, handover) and flag slippage/dependencies.
• Maintain owner-side risk, issue, and dependency trackers; consolidate inputs and escalate stale items to the right leads.
• Coordinate information flow and document control between owner and delivery management (submittals, RFIs, technical queries, approvals).
• Produce weekly/monthly dashboards and support board-level/stakeholder reporting packs using consolidated programme and risk data.

Requirements

• EU / Portuguese working rights required (preferred).
• 4–7 years of experience in project controls, PMO support, project coordination, or assistant project management on major construction/infrastructure/data centre programmes.

• Programme literacy for construction/infrastructure schedules: able to read and sense-check schedule information and milestone dependencies (without needing to build/maintain schedules directly).

• Comfort working in a fast-moving, multi-party environment with shifting priorities.
