Detailed Description From Employer:

Programme/Project Manager – Utilities TOM + EnergyCAP Implementation – Contract (6 months) – Outside IR35 - £650 - £720/day A fast-growing, PE-backed real estate operator is building an in-house, technology-led utilities capability across electricity, gas, water and renewables. The mandate for the Programme Manager: transition from an outsourced provider to a scalable, data-driven operation that controls cost, improves data quality, and enables growth. You’ll lead the first major phase: implementing a new Target Operating Model and deploying EnergyCAP.

What the Programme Manager will lead:

  • Programme setup and delivery: Define structure, governance, RAID, and clear workstreams to deliver TOM + EnergyCAP from a high-level business case
  • Stakeholder alignment: Work closely with Utilities, Finance, Data, and Tech leadership; manage vendors; run effective steerco and exec updates
  • Planning and mobilisation: Detailed plans, milestones, critical path, resourcing, reporting; keep a low-maturity environment on track
  • Process and change: Map and embed new processes; drive adoption; ensure a clean handover to BAU
  • Data migration: Oversee extraction, cleansing, migration, validation; demonstrate past success managing operational data/system transitions
  • Testing to go-live: Coordinate config, UAT, training, cutover, and early-life support; ensure measurable operational improvements
  • Performance and risks: Track KPIs (invoice validation, recharge efficiency, data completeness), manage risks/issues, and drive continuous improvement

What the Programme Manager will bring

  • Strong programme-level delivery in complex transformations; comfortable as a “team of one” without PMO support
  • Demonstrable Target Operating Model (TOM) experience: designing and implementing TOMs, including process mapping, governance design, and operational handover
  • Utilities/energy/facilities background is a plus; adjacent infrastructure/real estate experience is transferable
  • SaaS implementation experience (EnergyCAP or similar) and hands-on data migration, systems integration, and user training
  • Solid grasp of utilities operations, billing, data management, and regulatory considerations (can be learned quickly if adjacent experience is strong)
  • Proven change management, stakeholder influence, and vendor management
  • Confident, pragmatic, and able to push back constructively; strategic but happy to get into the detail
  • Certifications (PRINCE2/PMP/Agile) desirable

Why this role

  • High-impact, must-do programme with executive sponsorship
  • Freedom to shape the programme structure and governance
  • Immediate, tangible value: cost control, data mastery, and scalable operations
