Technical Project Manager
We are looking for a Technical Project Manager to join our organisation on a fixed term basis, subject to successful contract award.
This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in delivering a major IT mobilisation programme, supporting the transition of infrastructure, systems and services across the Federation.
You will lead on coordinating technical workstreams such as domain, device, data and VPN migration, ensuring delivery is on track.

What you’ll be doing
- Managing technical project workstreams within a large mobilisation programme
- Developing and maintaining key project documentation (plans, risks, issues)
- Coordinating delivery across multiple teams, suppliers and stakeholders
- Supporting testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and transition into BAU
- Tracking progress against milestones and escalating risks appropriately
- Providing regular updates to programme boards and stakeholders
- Supporting continuous improvement and lessons learned activity
