Technical Project Manager in Slough

As our IT Technical Project Manager, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end delivery of complex technology projects across IT Desktop, Networking and Business Systems. Working with business sponsors, system owners, technical specialists and third-party suppliers, you’ll translate approved business requirements and technical solutions into clear, controlled delivery plans. You’ll lead projects from initiation and planning through testing, implementation, hypercare, closure and successful handover into business-as-usual support.

You’ll manage project governance, budgets, forecasts, risks, dependencies and change control, while ensuring stakeholders have clear and transparent visibility of progress. You’ll also oversee suppliers, testing, implementation and operational readiness, making sure projects are delivered safely, securely, on time and within budget. This is a highly collaborative role where you’ll lead cross-functional and multi-supplier teams, constructively challenge technical plans and assumptions, and ensure new or changed technology services are ready to operate effectively from day one.

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager with a strong track record of successfully delivering complex technology projects with significant operational, financial or client impact. You’ll bring experience across areas such as end-user computing, infrastructure, networks, cloud services, cybersecurity, business applications, systems integration or data migration, together with the technical confidence to challenge architects, engineers, application specialists and suppliers when needed.

You’ll be comfortable managing the full project lifecycle, including planning, governance, budgets, risks, testing, deployment, hypercare and operational handover. Commercially aware and highly organised, you’ll also have experience managing third-party suppliers, contractual deliverables and competing priorities. Strong stakeholder management is essential. You’ll be confident engaging and influencing at all levels, including having robust conversations with senior leaders, clients and third parties.

You’ll be analytical, resilient and proactive, with excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to manage multiple complex priorities. Experience of recognised delivery approaches such as PRINCE2, Agile or Kanban is expected, while relevant professional qualifications such as Risk Management or Six Sigma would be advantageous. Above all, you’ll share Atlas’ purpose and values and bring a practical, accountable approach to delivering change.

To ensure we remain focused on our purpose as we grow, we recruit first and foremost on our values so for those committed to living them alongside us, there is no better place to work.

Our Purpose: To create happiness in ourselves and others. We approach work and life with a sense of fun, optimism and belief, and strive to have a positive impact on the world around us. We show kindness and compassion to all those we meet, ensuring everyone is safe and healthy. We deliver on our promises and go the extra mile every day.

Our Values: We are a family. Just like any other family, we laugh, cry, celebrate and commiserate together. We may come from many different backgrounds, but we’re always there when it really matters. Whether it’s with practical help and support, or simply a mug of tea and a shoulder to cry on. Sharing makes us stronger. Knowledge is more powerful when it’s shared. Which is why we share everything - our ideas, our expertise, our news and most-of-all our time. Show humility. Share and work together, and anything is possible. Own your space. You are Atlas. Don’t be afraid to make decisions. Use your time wisely and treat every pound as if it was coming from your own pocket. Be honest. Always. Have the courage to do the right thing, even when no-one is watching. Whether it’s owning up to a mistake, having a difficult conversation, or simply arguing a point you feel passionate about. Be yourself. Authenticity breeds trust. Trust brings happiness. Treat clients like our best friends. If we’re a family, then our clients are our best friends. Friends who you can be completely open and honest with, because they trust you to put their interests first. We take the time to listen to what’s going on in our clients' lives and pull out all the stops to make them feel happy. Start with Wow and never settle for less. Create time to focus on quality and prioritise long-term solutions over short-term fixes. Constantly seek opportunities to learn from others, and if something doesn’t make sense, shout. Always ask yourself if there is more we can do to bring happiness to those around us. Don't just talk. Do. We are a business that thrives on doing. The more we do, the more we succeed. Embrace change. Keep it simple. Keep meetings short. Plan just enough to succeed. And then get on with it.
