Power Platform Specialist

The Opportunity:

Where Governance Meets Cutting-Edge Tech

Are you a Power Platform specialist who enjoys building elegant technical solutions rather than just following PMO processes?

We are representing a leading organisation within the UK transport sector that is currently navigating a historic period of transformation. As they move toward a major national merger, they are looking for a technical specialist to take ownership of their digital PMO landscape.

This is not a traditional PMO administration role. We need a hands-on  architect to lead the roadmap for a sophisticated, enterprise-level PPM tool built on the Microsoft Power Platform. You will be the technical heart of a PMO that oversees 90 active projects and supports over 40 project managers
.

As the internal Subject Matter Expert, you will bridge the gap between high-level governance and deep technical development. Your goal is to ensure the business has a  single source of truth  for decision-making through:

• System Evolution: Managing and evolving  Project Prime,  an advanced PPM tool leveraging Microsoft Planner
  , Power Apps
  , and Dataverse
  .
• The AI
  
  Roadmap:
  
  Leading the charge into the future by implementing AI Builder and Copilot Studio to automate risk analysis and lessons learned.
• Data Artistry: Creating high-impact Power BI dashboards using complex DAX and Time intelligence to provide senior leaders with actionable insights.
• Strategic Integration: Optimising workflows between the Power Platform and external tools like Docu Sign
  , SAP
  , and potentially Primavera P6
  .

You are a proactive, outgoing technical specialist who enjoys stakeholder engagement as well as getting into the technology. We are looking for:

• Deep Technical Proficiency: You must have proven, hands-on experience with Power Apps (Canvas & Model-driven),
  Power Automate
  , Share Point , and SQL/VBA
  .
• The  Developer  Mindset: You enjoy gathering user requirements and translating them into robust system enhancements without needing constant direction.
• Analytical Excellence: You likely hold a Power BI Data Analyst certification and thrive on data architecture and system integration.
• Communicative & Proactive: You are comfortable engaging with Finance, IT, and senior sponsors to challenge current processes and suggest smarter ways of working.

This is a chance to shape the technical direction of a massive infrastructure portfolio during a period of national significance.

• Total Travel Freedom: Benefit from free travel across a major regional rail network
  , along with a health cash plan and gym tax benefits.
• Tangible Impact: You will have the autonomy to  mold  the system and drive innovation, including real-world AI implementation.
• A Modern Interview Process: Forget standard  death by PowerPoint  interviews. We want to see your talent in action through a show and tell session- bring your laptop and show us what you’ve built.
