The Government Property Agency is the largest property holder in government, with more than £2.1 billion in property assets and over 55% of the government’s office estate.

We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. We are seeking innovative, solutions-focused individuals to join our team.

Representing the best covenant in the UK – His Majesty’s Government – we are leading transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme, and Net Zero Programme, while delivering modern, cost-effective real estate services.

Innovation and progress are central to our culture. We foster lifelong learning, encouraging curiosity and self-improvement. We are committed to being a leading, inclusive employer within the Civil Service, emphasizing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) to meet the needs of government departments and civil servants who use our spaces.

Join our dynamic, diverse team that leads with purpose—improving sustainability, nurturing social value, promoting inclusivity and flexibility, and supporting economic growth. Be part of something meaningful: influence, shape our future, and make a real impact.

The GPA is dedicated to representing the communities we serve by embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in all our activities. We particularly invite applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, or part of the LGBTQ+ community.

The GovPass Programme within the GPA is modernising Access Control Systems across HMG, establishing a new UK government standard for card encryption to enhance building security and interoperability through innovative technology.

You will need:

• Strong stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to manage multiple site delivery projects, keeping stakeholders engaged.
• Problem-solving skills and the ability to maintain delivery momentum.
• An eye for standardisation and simplification.
