Our public sector client is seeking an experienced Project Manager to support a high-profile Housing Transformation programme.

This role sits on the transformation side of the organisation, working closely with Housing Services to drive delivery at pace. You will join the programme at its current stage, taking ownership of developing and managing robust project plans while delivering hands-on project management in a fast-paced local government environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Developing and managing detailed project plans to support TOM implementation
• Working closely with an external consultancy producing the TOM implementation plan
• Driving the implementation of new performance reporting, policies and procedures
• Leading extensive stakeholder engagement across Housing Services
• Ensuring progress is driven forward quickly and effectively
• Focus areas include repairs, maintenance, property services and compliance

About You

• Proven project management experience within a fast-paced local government environment
• Strong housing services background, ideally within a local authority
• Solid experience working with compliance policies and procedures
• Confident engaging and influencing senior stakeholders across complex services
• Strong understanding of how local government operates
• Experience working on transformation programmes
• PRINCE2 and Agile experience
• TOM experience is desirable but not essential (an external consultancy is producing the TOM, and you will support service-side implementation)

If you are an experienced local government project manager with housing transformation experience and are available for a contract opportunity, we would like to hear from you.
