Job Description

What you'll be doing

Join the House of Commons as a Project Manager and take the lead in delivering a wide range of works across the Parliamentary Estate, from initial scoping to final handover. This is a role where no two days are the same, offering the chance to manage varied, meaningful projects in one of the UK's most iconic and mission-driven environments.

Once the scope is agreed, you'll drive progress through every stage: securing stakeholder sign-off, developing business cases, managing design and CDM requirements, procuring contractors, and overseeing installation on site. You'll administer contracts, manage cost and change, lead safety audits, coordinate quality inspections and ensure smooth commissioning and handovers.

With opportunities to shape continuous improvement, lead lessons‑learned sessions and occasionally deputise for senior managers, this role offers both responsibility and real impact at the heart of UK Parliament.

This role is offered on a hybrid working basis, with an expectation of you spending 60% of your time in the office.

Why Join us?

In addition to your salary, we offer, including but not limited to:

• Generous annual leave starting at 30 days and increasing to 35 after one full working year.
• Enrolment in the excellent scheme with an average employer contribution of 27%
• Flexible working options that help you find a balance including enhanced maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave, caring leave and alternative working patterns.

What we're looking for.

• Minimum NVQ L4 in a construction related topic or the 5 years equivalent work experience.
• Knowledge of how construction / refurbishment / conservation projects are delivered.
• Knowledge of process for appointing and overseeing external consultants and contractors to ensure project delivery is to time and budget.
• Demonstrable financial and budget management skills and the understanding how to identify risks, issues, assumptions, constraints and dependencies.
• Evidence of planning and organising project documentation, understanding of filing structures and how to protect sensitive information.
• Ability to communicate confidently and the commitment to a work environment of mutual trust and respect.
