This is a pivotal role at the centre of how TGIS delivers for its customers. You will own the coordination and successful delivery of client projects from initiation to formal close, while building the kind of trusted, long-term relationships that turn a single project into an ongoing partnership. You will be the dependable point of contact our customers rely on, and the internal driver who keeps projects on scope, on time, and profitable.

It is a role with real room to grow. You do not need to be an engine specialist on day one, but you should be genuinely interested in aviation and engine management and keen to develop your technical understanding over time, working closely with our Head of Technical Services and wider technical team. For the right person, this is a path into deeper account ownership and a senior position within a respected, independent consultancy.

• Own the coordination of client technical projects end to end, from setup through to formal closure
• Maintain the project tracker and Fresh Projects so status, milestones and resource are always accurate and visible
• Coordinate consultant and internal team availability, making sure the right resource is matched to each project
• Lead weekly production meetings, keeping everyone aligned on progress, priorities and next steps
• Chase the follow-ups that keep projects moving, and make sure nothing slips between customer, technical team and consultants
• Set up and maintain project folders, records and the Projects SharePoint site to a consistently high standard

• Act as the main point of contact for our customers, building deep, trusted relationships through clear, timely and confident communication
• Keep customers genuinely happy, giving them transparency on progress, risks and key decisions throughout each project
• Understand each customer’s expectations and priorities so that scope is right first time and delivery meets or exceeds the Customer’s expectations
• Spot opportunities to support customers further, introducing other ways TGIS can help and feeding opportunities to the wider team
• Become the natural first call for a customer’s next project, laying the groundwork for repeat and retained work

• Work with the Head of Technical Services to translate customer requirements into clear, well-defined Statements of Work
• Draw on the technical team’s input to shape scope, assumptions and risk, developing your own technical understanding as you go
• Manage the SOW approval process through to signature and purchase order confirmation
• Identify scope changes early, agree the plan of action internally, and negotiate change requests clearly with the customer
• Ensure every scope variation is documented and aligned to the commercial agreement

• Work closely with the Head of Technical Services to track project profitability, comparing actual against budgeted hours
• Balance high-quality customer delivery with efficiency, flagging risks to margin, timeline or quality early
• Trigger and track invoicing milestones with Finance so billing is accurate and on time
• Provide clear, regular reporting on project status, risk and performance to support decision-making
