You will manage, guide and mentor multi‑disciplinary teams, across the Restoration and Renewal programme, from Design Management to the wider supply chain. A key part of your role will be to ensure that appropriate compliance checks are undertaken, so that solutions meet requirements, adhere to technical standards and align with the programme’s vision and strategic themes. It will also be essential to collaborate effectively with a variety of teams to develop and manage a Technical Assurance Plan for each project, applying a risk‑based, evidence‑driven approach that delivers value for money.

• In‑depth knowledge and experience of design-phase processes on large-scale, multi-disciplinary programmes, preferably with an understanding of work in historic building environments.
• Strong project management capabilities, with a proven track record of delivering results that depend on attention to detail, particularly in managing complex data and assurance documentation.

If you feel this role is for you then we would love to hear from you.

Salary circa £75,000 per annum.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary
• 30 days holiday plus public holidays
• Discretionary bonus scheme depending on both corporate and individual performance
• Life assurance of 4 × salary death in service
• Group Income Protection
• Pension – up to 10% employer contribution
• Up to 5 days paid volunteering
• Cycle to work scheme
• Season ticket loan
• Employee Assistance Programme

We are committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunities in employment. We are building diverse teams and seek to attract and retain talented individuals from a range of backgrounds and cultures to join us on this hugely challenging and important project.

Please apply by submitting a CV and cover letter, stating your suitability for the role and if you believe you have any current or potential conflicts of interest relating to this position.

We look forward to receiving your completed application by 12 noon on 24 November 2025.
