Location: Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium
Position Type: B2B Freelancer
On-Prem/Remote: On-Premises
Security Clearance: Mandatory
Minimum profile required
Skill, Knowledge & Experience:
· Strong proficiency in project scheduling tools — ideally Microsoft Project and ServiceNow
· Advanced Excel skills including pivot tables, lookups, conditional formatting, and the ability to build and maintain cost trackers and resource models.
· Confident user of Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Teams, Word, PowerPoint) for document management, collaboration, and reporting.
· Ability to build clear, concise dashboards and visual reports that translate raw data into RAG statuses, trend charts, and exception summaries for senior audiences.
· Familiarity with project management information systems (PMIS) or portfolio tools
· Exceptional attention to detail — the kind of person who notices a version number is wrong, a date has shifted, or a name is misspelled before it reaches a board pack.
· Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks, deadlines, and information flows without dropping things.
· Strong written communication — able to draft clear, grammatically correct minutes, reports, and status updates that require minimal editing by the Project Manager.
· Proactive and self-starting — able to anticipate what the Project Manager will need next rather than waiting to be asked.
· Diplomatic and persistent when chasing actions from colleagues, contractors, and senior stakeholders who may not prioritise the PSO's requests.
· Comfortable working across all levels of seniority, from site teams to the project board, and adapting communication style accordingly.
· Calm under pressure, particularly during busy reporting periods, stage gates, or when multiple deadlines converge.
· Trustworthy with sensitive information — the PSO will have visibility of financial data, personnel matters, and pre-decisional papers.
· Team-oriented with a willingness to pick up whatever needs doing — the PSO role is broad and sometimes unglamorous, and the right person takes pride in making the whole team more effective.
· Willing to challenge constructively — confident enough to push back if a process is being bypassed or a standard is slipping, even when the person cutting corners is more senior.
