About the role
The size, complexity and heritage of the Royal residences will present you with some truly fascinating, and often unique, challenges.
Joining the London team, you'll be overseeing a portfolio of work to support complex programmes across the London and Windsor estates, ensuring a customer focus and cost-effective project delivery.
From end-to-end project management to managing procurement processes, you’ll be involved in an array of engaging assignments alongside the wider Operations Team.
Every day will be different. You'll have oversight for the full lifecycle of your own projects whilst also sometimes providing supportive duties to the team on more complex developments.
And you'll ensure your stakeholders are informed and aware of the progress and impact of work, ensuring their needs are met and the highest level of customer service is delivered. These daily challenges will be vital to the continued running of our historic Estates.
About you
With experience as a Project Manager and the ability to manage minor programmes of work, you're the expert we're looking for. Experience of occupied or historic buildings would also prove an asset, but it’s not essential.
You know how to lead property projects, considering statutory compliance and risk, whilst also being aware of cost control and contract management.
Your passion for exceptional customer service will be evident in everything that you do, and as an effective communicator, you can quickly build relationships with internal and external stakeholders alike.
Highly organised, you'll be confident managing a variety of projects whilst maintaining the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and reprioritisation.
You’re a logical problem solver too and you will be able to remain level-headed and make effective decisions under pressure.
Computer literate and with strong administrative skills, you'll be able to use Microsoft tools and ideally programme management software to deliver your varied workload.
What’s more, with a naturally collaborative approach, you'll enjoy working as part of a motivated team to deliver the exceptional.
