IT Project Manager - Infrastructure

At Turner & Townsend we’re passionate about making the difference. That means delivering better outcomes for our clients, helping our people to realize their potential, and doing our part to create a prosperous society.

Every day we help our major global clients deliver ambitious and highly technical projects, in over 110 offices worldwide.

Managing implementations in the digital sector combines established tools and techniques with the unique challenges of technology. Whilst the introduction of some Agile practices may even remove the word ‘project’ from the language being used, the principle of controlling time, cost, and quality will always remain. We recognise that projects differ from programmes, yet many of the skills required are often transferrable between the two.

T&T are looking for people with the flexibility to adapt between traditional methodologies and those that have and are becoming commonplace. Who can work through the whole lifecycle, or merely jump into one part of it to help our clients achieve both the outputs and the outcomes that they are looking for.

The role may include, but is definitely not limited to, projects and/or programmes centred around data, software development/implementation/migration, IT infrastructure, telecommunications, cyber security, service delivery, logistics, robotics and AI.
