Major Local Authority Transformation Programme
East London | £650-£700 per day Inside IR35
Hybrid Working - Minimum 2-3 Days Onsite
Initial 3 months but strong likelihood of extension
A London local authority is embarking on a significant programme to reshape its property estate, improve the way its workforce operates and ensure its buildings are being used effectively to support frontline services.
An important part of this transformation involves relocating teams and services from existing properties, consolidating accommodation and releasing buildings for alternative use. Delivering this successfully will require more than traditional estates project management. It will involve understanding how council services operate, managing the practical challenges of moving people and ensuring essential services continue throughout the transition.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager who has personally delivered complex relocation and decant programmes and can take ownership of the planning, stakeholder engagement and practical delivery needed to make this happen.
The Role
You will lead the planning and delivery of staff and service relocations across council properties, working closely with operational teams, Property, HR, IT and senior stakeholders.
This will involve:
Developing and delivering complex decant and relocation plans, including identifying alternative accommodation and ensuring operational continuity.
Understanding how existing services operate, their workforce requirements and the implications of moving teams between locations.
Working with service leaders to develop practical solutions that balance accommodation constraints, workforce needs and service delivery.
Producing detailed project plans, options appraisals and business cases to secure agreement and support implementation.
Managing sensitive stakeholder relationships and securing buy-in to changes in working locations and arrangements.
Coordinating property, facilities, technology and operational teams to ensure new locations are ready for occupation.
Driving delivery against challenging timescales, identifying risks, resolving issues and maintaining momentum.
