Job description

Role Overview

This Cardiff-based role is part of a large-scale business separation programme, focused on migrating systems, data, and infrastructure to a new standalone environment. You’ll act as the on-site technical liaison, coordinating with remote teams and managing the execution of migration and BAU activities at the site level.

This is a fully onsite role combining L3 infrastructure engineering with project management. You’ll be the go-to person for technical escalations, project planning, and stakeholder coordination—especially as the site prepares for key cutover events in Q1 2026.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Delivery & Site-Level Execution

• Own and manage technical readiness for the Cardiff site ahead of major cutovers (e.g., network migration, application migration, storage gateway transitions)
• Act as the technical escalation point for BAU issues, resolving to L3 standard
• Coordinate with specialist teams (network, compute, endpoint, M365, security) to ensure site-level execution aligns with broader programme plans
• Understand technical requirements and translate them into actionable project plans

Project Management

• Develop and maintain detailed project and programme plans across multiple migration streams
• Track progress using tools like burndown charts (e.g., endpoint migration of 400+ PCs)
• Manage ticket allocation, workload tracking, and stakeholder reporting
• Liaise with remote delivery managers and technical teams to ensure alignment and timely execution

Required Skills & Experience

Technical (L3 Infrastructure)

• Proven experience in desktop deployments (Windows 10/11)
• Strong troubleshooting skills for PC and endpoint issues to L3 standard
• Hands-on experience with on-prem infrastructure (not cloud-focused)
• Familiarity with SAP ERP migrations, storage gateways, compute services, and shared drives

Project Management

• Experience coordinating with cross-functional technical teams
• Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills
• Familiarity with PMO practices, ITIL, and Agile methodologies
• Ability to operate independently in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment with no predefined playbook

Ideal Candidate Profile

• A pragmatic, solutions-focused mindset—comfortable navigating complexity and ambiguity
• Strong technical grounding with the ability to lead and manage infrastructure migrations
• Excellent communicator and collaborator, able to bridge gaps between corporate teams and site-level execution
• Previous experience in separation programmes or large-scale IT transformations is a plus
