About the role
Based in Edinburgh or Glasgow and reporting to the Project Implementation Director, you will have end-to-end responsibility for coordinating the technology required to make the facility operational and ready for Day 1.
This is not simply a corporate IT role. The programme brings together enterprise technology, site infrastructure and operational technology within a high-throughput processing environment.
You will coordinate the agreed end-to-end technology solution across plant systems, networks, data, reporting, operational technology, third-party integrations, cybersecurity, testing and service transition.
You will:
- Own the integrated IT programme plan, milestones, budget, dependencies, risks and decisions.
- Coordinate the end-to-end technology solution across operational and enterprise systems.
- Deliver secure and resilient site network and technology infrastructure.
- Coordinate integration of sorting equipment, scanning, bale tracking, weighing systems, plant telemetry and operational reporting.
- Manage interfaces between Re.Group systems, Exchange for Change platforms and third-party technologies.
- Lead technology vendors and partners against agreed deliverables, milestones and acceptance criteria.
- Ensure systems support material traceability, reconciliation, reporting, compliance and audit requirements.
- Embed appropriate cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, backup and recovery controls.
- Lead integrated testing, cutover and technology go-live readiness.
- Manage hypercare and stabilisation following commencement.
- Ensure an effective transition into ongoing operational support.
About you
You will be an experienced technology programme leader who is comfortable working where IT, operational technology and physical infrastructure come together.
You will ideally bring:
- 10+ years’ experience leading complex, multi-vendor technology programmes.
- Experience delivering technology from requirements and design through testing, cutover and operational stabilisation.
- Demonstrated delivery of networks, infrastructure, systems integration and operational technology in industrial or operational environments.
- Experience integrating existing enterprise platforms with third-party technologies.
- Strong vendor, commercial and stakeholder management capability.
- Knowledge of cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, backup and disaster recovery.
- Experience managing client-facing deliverables, acceptance criteria and executive reporting.
- A relevant qualification in IT, computer science, engineering, programme management or a related discipline.
- PRINCE2, MSP, PMP or equivalent certification would be advantageous.
Why this opportunity?
You will help build the technology environment behind a new Container Sorting Facility in Scotland, bringing together physical infrastructure, processing equipment, operational systems, data and reporting into an integrated solution.
You will be involved from implementation through testing, commissioning and go-live, and see the technology transition into a live operating environment.
If you enjoy delivering complex technology where IT, operational systems and physical infrastructure intersect, we would like to hear from you.
