Job Description

Job Title: Infrastructure Project Manager (GIS Expertise)

Location: East Sussex – Hybrid once a week onsite

Contract: Outside IR35

Length: 6-month contract

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Project Manager with strong knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to lead the delivery of complex IT and infrastructure projects. The role involves managing the end-to-end lifecycle of projects that integrate core IT infrastructure with spatial data solutions, ensuring alignment with business objectives, technical standards, and security requirements.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams — including infrastructure engineers, GIS specialists, application owners, and business stakeholders — to deliver scalable, secure, and high-performing environments supporting GIS and enterprise platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of infrastructure projects with GIS components (e.g. Esri ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoServer, or similar).
• Manage full project lifecycle — from initiation and requirements gathering to deployment, transition to operations, and post-implementation review.
• Coordinate internal and external resources (vendors, consultants, and service providers).
• Ensure project deliverables meet agreed scope, timelines, budgets, and quality standards.
• Oversee the design and implementation of network, server, and storage environments supporting GIS platforms.
• Collaborate with GIS analysts and data engineers to ensure infrastructure scalability, performance, and data integrity.
• Maintain compliance with IT governance, cybersecurity, and data protection policies (e.g. ISO 27001, GDPR).
• Produce and maintain project documentation — including project plans, risk registers, and change logs.
• Manage stakeholder communication, status reporting, and escalation processes.
• Support system upgrades, migrations, and integrations with enterprise systems (e.g. ERP, asset management, or field service tools).

Required Skills & Experience

• Proven experience as an Infrastructure Project Manager (5+ years) in enterprise or public-sector environments.
• Demonstrable experience delivering projects involving GIS technologies (such as Esri ArcGIS, ArcGIS Enterprise, QGIS, FME, or related platforms).
• Strong technical understanding of infrastructure components — servers, networks, storage, virtualization, and cloud (Azure/AWS).
• Familiarity with spatial databases (PostGIS, SQL Server Spatial, Oracle Spatial) and data integration.
• Experience managing vendors, budgets, and multi-disciplinary teams.
• Knowledge of ITIL, Prince2, or Agile project management methodologies.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and documentation skills.
• Understanding of information security and data governance frameworks.
