Role Summary

Are you an experienced Technical Project Manager with a strong background in IT infrastructure and networking projects within complex environments?

We're looking for a confident and technically credible project manager to lead the delivery of infrastructure-focused IT projects that support one of the UK's most ambitious estate transformation programmes. Working within our Information Services team, you will play a key role in delivering the IT work streams associated with major building, renovation and infrastructure projects. You’ll have the opportunity to manage multiple projects, overseeing planning, procurement, supplier management, budgeting, risk management and delivery from inception through to operational handover.

This is an opportunity to contribute to a once-in-a-generation programme of estate transformation while leading projects that have a lasting impact on the organisation's infrastructure and future capabilities.

You will have:

• Experience of delivering physical IT infrastructure projects with the ability to manage multiple concurrent technical projects.
• A strong understanding of networking and infrastructure concepts, including network infrastructure, switches, VLANs, WANs, Windows Server, virtualisation and Active Directory. Knowledge of technologies such as Cisco networking, Azure, VMware and enterprise infrastructure environments is advantageous.
• Experience in technical IT roles as well as IT project management, with strong experience in supplier management, procurement and contract management.
• Experience creating and managing project plans, risk registers and non-technical audiences.
• Strong stakeholder engagement, negotiation and influencing skills with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. In particular, you will be able to work effectively with contractors, consultants and suppliers from a range of industries including construction.
• Experience supporting infrastructure projects in estate transformation or construction-led projects where IT is one workstream within a wider programme.
• Experience working within the public sector is advantageous, particularly from the Museum, Cultural, Heritage or Academic sectors.

• Lead the delivery of multiple infrastructure and technical projects simultaneously, of varying size and scope, from initiation through to completion.
• Manage IT work streams within major building renovation, refurbishment and new-build projects.
• Develop project scopes, cost estimates, plans, RAID logs and governance documentation, ensuring projects are delivered to the agreed time, budget and quality.
• Coordinate technical specialists, contractors and third-party suppliers.
• Manage procurement activity and supplier performance.
• Work with stakeholders across multiple departments to translate requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Manage project risks, dependencies and budgets to ensure successful delivery.
• Provide technical project expertise and advice to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
