As part of PMST, the Projects function is focussed on:

  • Asset Enhancements - Fabric related projects that enhance the estate, often for high profile internal clients who need high quality and dependable construction work.
  • Asset Replacement & Renewal - Each part of our buildings and infrastructure is managed through its life cycle and the projects team focus on ensuring that they provide a continuous operational service when they are near the end of serviceable use.
  • Engagement - Acting as the first and last point of contact between maintenance and larger capital projects delivered by both our colleagues within the strategic estate and the "Restoration and Renewal" Programme.

As such we occupy a unique position, based in the heart of the Palace of Westminster and the hub of operations, we are involved with every construction project at each stage of its development across the estate. The PMST itself is undergoing a process of modernisation as we have recently re-structured and in light of the Restoration and Renewal Programme now planning what the processes of maintenance should be in the next 10-15 years.

  • Specify directly or with consultants, any modernisation, remedial or replacement works.
  • Deliver project works by following parliamentary project governance, supervising resulting works contractors, undertaking periodic quality and safety inspections and providing quality assurance over the works.
  • On completion of works, hand back the installation to the client & PMST obtaining all relevant record information for long term storage in the common data environment, provide requisite information to establish a maintenance plan and inform any derogations or augmentation to standard PPM. Produce metrics and reports to summarise progress and outcomes from projects.
  • Act as technical stakeholder for PMST on larger capital works projects (e.g. office fit-outs, full refurbishment of listed buildings, utilities infrastructure, Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster).
  • Comply with CDM, house safety rules and champion safe working in all circumstances.

Skills and Experience

Essential Criteria:

  • Degree educated (or minimum equivalent NVQ Level 6) in Building Surveying or Civil Engineering.

  • Demonstrable experience of leading and driving process and other improvements, collecting and responding to feedback, innovating and delivering measurable results.
