Client Overview

AtkinsRéalis provide the Client (RCU‑D& C) with key resources to assist them with various operational requirements. The Client requires the placement of a Senior Project Manager (SPM) to serve as the key interface link between the Client (RCU's Development teams) and Third‑Party Developers (TPD). This role is focused on process coordination, workflow mapping, and issue resolution to ensure smooth interactions across the ecosystem. Working closely with Development Directors and Managers, the SPM will identify and track blockages, propose practical resolutions, and ensure TPD deliverables are aligned with RCU requirements.

This position will also play a role in standardizing processes, toolkits, and communication protocols to bring greater consistency to TPD engagements.

Key Responsibilities

• Stakeholder Communication: Maintain clear and regular communication with key stakeholders, including client management, Third‑Party Developers, D&C (RIBA 0&1 Commercial and Business Case), RCU Security, regulatory authorities, and other relevant parties.
• Collaboration and Relationship Management: Success is dependent on the facilitation of close collaboration between the Client and Third‑Party Developers to achieve a mutually agreed outcome and agreement.
• Project Governance & Guidelines: Implement the Client requirements to ensure the Third‑Party has clarity of the workflow process and deliverable requirements.
• Project Planning (limited): In consultation with RCU's Development teams, develop initial project plans, project scope, objectives, timelines, milestones, and resource requirements. Once the protocols are set for Third‑Party Developers, the project scopes, design management and permitting will likely transfer to County Ops to manage the process.
• Issue Resolution: Risk, Issues and Escalation management is critical to timely resolution of issues that may arise at various stages in the Project.
• Budget Management (limited): Budgets established by the Client to be managed and controlled, ensuring that the project is delivered within the allocated financial constraints. This involvement is limited as the land deals and land values will be managed in entirety by D&C Real Estate. The production of the ROM for assets to aid in informing the land values will be undertaken in the annual plan by D&C Commercial.
• Risk Assessment (Technical): Identify potential risks and challenges throughout the project lifecycle and develop mitigation strategies to address them effectively.
• RCU Commercial to give their assessment of commercial and financial risks.
• RCU Compliance and Regulations: Ensure that the project adheres to all RCU Guidelines such as applicable Healthcare or Education or Residential projects regulations, safety standards, security requirements (strategy & stage gates) and legal requirements.
• Quality Assurance: QAQC by parties producing deliverables to be monitored to maintain a high‑quality standard throughout the project, ensuring that all deliverables meet established criteria. Other than plot specifics (title deeds, affection plans, Geotech surveys), there should be minimal design management with Third‑Party Developers as the intent is to have County Ops Manage from RIBA 2 - 4.
• Progress Tracking and Reporting: Regularly track project progress and provide status reports to stakeholders.
• Contract Management: Report on the status of Client and Third‑Party Developer negotiations, drafting of Contract Agreement by the Client appointed Consultant and Contract agreement.
• Change Management: Ensure that any modifications are documented and communicated appropriately.

Requirements

Education: A bachelor's or master's degree in architecture or project management, or a related field is typically required. Advanced certifications (PMP) in project management can be advantageous.

Experience: Project Management at development stage with extensive experience (10+ years) with various Asset types.

Industry Knowledge: In‑depth knowledge of various Asset types, including regulations, best practices, and emerging trends.

Leadership Skills: Strong leadership abilities with the capability to motivate and manage a diverse team effectively.

Project Management Expertise: Proficiency in project management methodologies, tools, techniques, with a proven track record of successfully delivering complex projects.

Communication: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to interact with various stakeholders, both technical and non‑technical, and present project updates and proposals effectively.
