Lead technology delivery that works in the real world

Turner & Townsend helps clients turn complex property, workplace and technology ambition into outcomes that can be delivered and operated successfully.

We are looking for a client-side Digital Buildings Integration professional to lead technology projects and programmes across commercial occupier and workplace fit-out environments. You will bring together the people, information, decisions and delivery activity needed to keep technology scope aligned with wider construction, fit-out and operational priorities.

The role combines practical IT project management with a strategic mindset across smart-building, operational technology and building-integration interfaces. You will work with client teams, designers, contractors, technology suppliers and specialist colleagues to manage scope, programme, budget, risk and stakeholder expectations from initiation through to handover and close-out.

This is not a detailed system-design, installation-design or vendor-configuration role. Your value is in leading the client-side delivery process, coordinating the right technical expertise, making dependencies visible early and helping clients make confident, timely decisions.

What you will do

Lead delivery across property and technology programmes

- lead defined IT, workplace-technology and digital-buildings projects or work streams from initiation through to close-out

- manage scope, programme, budget, risks, dependencies and decisions, using clear governance and practical controls

- align technology milestones with construction, fit-out and operational-readiness activity, including relevant RIBA Plan of Work stages

- identify blockers early and drive proportionate resolution before they affect cost, programme, quality or client outcomes

- produce concise, useful reporting on progress, financial health, risk and key decisions for client sponsors and senior stakeholders

Coordinate technical and delivery interfaces

- coordinate designers, contractors, vendors and technical resources delivering networks, communications rooms, structured cabling, audiovisual systems, workplace technology and related infrastructure

- manage the interfaces between IT infrastructure, smart-building systems, operational technology, building management systems and the wider delivery programme

- use enough technical understanding to ask the right questions, challenge unclear assumptions and bring the appropriate specialist support into the conversation

- support testing, commissioning, handover and operational readiness so that intended technology outcomes are not lost at the end of delivery
