Who are you?

You are a resourceful and highly organized workforce planning, resourcing, or recruitment, professional with experience supporting major projects, capital programs, infrastructure, energy, construction, or professional services environments.

You understand that successful project delivery depends on having the right people in the right roles at the right time. You are comfortable working with project leaders, hiring managers, Talent Acquisition, HR, Finance, and operations teams to translate project demand into clear workforce plans, hiring priorities, pipeline visibility, and onboarding readiness.

You may come from recruitment coordination, talent acquisition, resource management, workforce planning, PMO, or project operations background and are looking to broaden your impact by moving closer to project delivery, business planning, and major program mobilization.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with recruitment coordination, talent acquisition, workforce planning, or major project resourcing experience who wants to move into a broader PMO-facing role with direct exposure to project delivery, business planning, and leadership decision-making.

In this role, you will help ensure Turner & Townsend has the workforce visibility and resourcing coordination needed to deliver major projects successfully. You will work at the intersection of project delivery, PMO, workforce planning, and Talent Acquisition, helping business leaders understand current and future resource demand, prioritize hiring needs, monitor pipeline progress, and reduce staffing-related delivery risk.

As PMO Resource Analyst, Major Projects, you will be involved in:

Major Project Mobilization & Workforce Readiness

• Support workforce planning and mobilization activities for major projects, programs, client engagements, and strategic pursuits across the business unit.
• Work with delivery leaders to understand upcoming project phases, role demand, critical skill requirements, and timing of resource needs.
• Help translate project pipeline and pursuit activity into forward-looking hiring and resourcing plans.
• Track mobilization readiness, including hiring status, start dates, onboarding requirements, project assignments, and outstanding staffing risks.
• Support early identification of hard-to-fill roles, constrained skill sets, and priority vacancies that may impact delivery commitments.
• Supporting governance forums related to resource planning, workforce readiness, hiring pipeline review, and project staffing risk.
• Creating standardized PMO tools, templates, trackers, and guidance to support consistent workforce planning, requisition tracking, resource reporting, and onboarding coordination.

Hiring Pipeline & Resource Coordination

• Provide practical insight into candidate availability, market constraints, location challenges, and hard-to-fill skill sets to help inform workforce planning and hiring prioritization.
• Support the translation of project staffing needs into clear requisition inputs, intake notes, and candidate profile requirements.
• Monitor candidate pipeline health and highlight risks related to volume, quality, timing, or hard-to-fill skill sets.
• Provide hiring managers and delivery leaders with regular updates on hiring progress, blockers, and recommended actions.
• Support proactive workforce pipeline planning for future project phases and anticipated client demand.
• Preparing leadership-level summaries that clearly communicate staffing risks, delivery constraints, hiring dependencies, and recommended escalation actions.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Providing leadership with clear visibility of workforce demand, hiring progress, resource constraints, and mobilization readiness so that staffing risks are identified early, and project teams can be built ahead of delivery need.
• Supporting the design, implementation, and continuous enhancement of resource reporting frameworks, including dashboards, KPIs, milestone reporting, hiring pipeline summaries, and management updates.
• Working with project teams, Talent Acquisition, HR, Finance, Operations, Digital, Data Analysts, and Project Controls teams to ensure reporting outputs are accurate, timely, and aligned with governance requirements.
• Conducting periodic quality checks on resource plans, staffing trackers, hiring reports, onboarding documentation, and related PMO outputs.
• Tracking actions, decisions, risks, dependencies, and recommendations arising from resource reviews, leadership forums, audits, lessons learned, or assurance activities.

• Inputting key information into Turner & Townsend internal database tools, including opportunity tracking, resource planning, invoicing, and related business systems. Training will be provided where required.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience in resource coordination, workforce planning, recruitment coordination, talent acquisition operations, project coordination, PMO support, business operations, or a similar project-based environment.
• Experience supporting hiring managers, project leaders, or business stakeholders with role intake, requisition tracking, candidate pipeline coordination, onboarding readiness, or workforce reporting.
• Strong understanding of project-based delivery environments and the importance of timely staffing, role clarity, mobilization readiness, and resource risk management.
• Experience maintaining trackers, dashboards, action logs, reporting packs, resource plans, hiring pipeline reports, workforce plans, or project governance documentation.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to coordinate across project teams, hiring managers, Talent Acquisition, HR, Finance, Operations, and leadership stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, stakeholders, and competing demands.
• Proficient in Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint.
