We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager (or similar contractor) with strong experience in IT resource planning and resource management systems. This isn’t about day-to-day project tracking — it’s a chance to design and roll out a new system that will give full visibility of IT resources across multiple projects.

The end goal: a tool that shows the real-time impact of launching a project at any point in time, including heat maps of resource utilisation and pressure points.

• Lead the design and implementation of a new resource management framework and tool for IT

• Define and embed processes for resource allocation, forecasting, utilisation and conflict management

• Collaborate with internal key stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure alignment with operational goals

• Design, configure, and roll out a fit-for-purpose resource planning tool

• Work with IT delivery teams and programme managers to ensure the system supports real-world needs

• Deliver training, documentation, and handover for long-term adoption

• Support ongoing technical project delivery during the rollout

• Ensure accurate reporting, dashboards, and heat maps for resourcing decisions

• Proven background as a Technical Project Manager or Resource Management Lead/Consultant

• Hands-on experience with resource management tools – such as:

  • MS Project / Project Online / Planview / Clarity PPM / Smartsheet / Resource Guru / Mavenlink (Kantata) / Wrike / (url removed) / Asana

  • Or integrated tools: ServiceNow Resource Management / Jira with Tempo Planner, BigPicture or Advanced Roadmaps / Workday / Oracle Primavera

• Track record of system implementation or rollout – not just using a tool, but building and embedding one

• Strong stakeholder management – able to engage technical teams and leadership alike

• Knowledge of Agile and Waterfall delivery environments

• High-impact, greenfield contract — you’ll build something from scratch with real visibility

• Outside IR35 – with autonomy to deliver

• Mostly remote – some time on-site in South Wales for kick-off and key meetings

• Long-term contract (12 months) with strong potential for extension
