Project Coordinator – Security

Permanent, full time

Flexible location – London, Selby, Glasgow or Ipswich

Hybrid working

Closing date: Monday 18th August 2025

Are you a Project or PMO Coordinator looking for a new challenge? We’re now recruiting a newly established opportunity for a Project Coordinator in the Physical & Cyber Security team at Drax.

Who we are

We’re not just talking about making a difference, we’re making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.

You’ll be joining our teams of practical doers, future thinkers and business champions. We’re enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.

About The Role

This role is a great opportunity to work across a variety of projects within our Security function at Drax, as well as supporting projects from across the wider business which require Security input. You’ll play a key role in project delivery by ensuring effective planning, reporting and stakeholder alignment.

You’ll ensure that timelines and deliverables are met through the effective coordination of projects. The role will involve supporting stakeholders with documentation, reporting and project tracking, as well as maintaining project plans, risk logs and issue trackers.

With a strong focus on security project governance, you’ll assist in developing and maintaining templates, guidelines and best practices for project delivery. You’ll also support assurance activities including project audits and compliance checks.

The role will involve supporting resource management by tracking allocations, utilisation and availability. You’ll also assist in tracking project budgets, forecasts and expenditures in collaboration with finance teams.

Stakeholder management is a key part of this role. You’ll act as a point of contact for project teams, security leads and wider business stakeholders and facilitate communication between teams to ensure project alignment.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll need previous experience working in a Project or PMO environment at a coordinator level. Specifically, you’ll demonstrate experience with governance, compliance and risk management activities as well as scheduling activities and managing project budgets.

Previous experience working on security, IT or technology project is highly beneficial but not essential.

Demonstrating proficiency in project management tools such as Microsoft Projects and Azure DevOps, you’ll also have a breadth of experience across project management methodologies including Prince2, Agile and Waterfall approaches.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential. You’ll also demonstrate excellent organisational, analytical and report writing skills.

  • Competitive salary
  • 7.5% on-target discretionary group performance-based bonus
  • 25 days annual leave (plus Bank Holidays)

We work as part of a team that shares a passion for doing what’s right for the future. With Drax you can shape your career and a future for generations to come.
