Overview
Contract Role: Technical Project Manager (Resource Management System)

Security Clearance (SC)
IR35: Outside IR35
Start Date: ASAP
We’re looking for a Technical Project Manager (or similar contractor) with any 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.
Responsibilities
* Lead the design and implementation of a new resource management framework and tool for IT resource planning
* 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
* Help to 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
Experience / Qualifications
* Proven background as a Technical Project Manager or Resource Management Lead/Consultant
* Hands-on experience with resource management tools would be a nice to have, such as:
* MS Project / Project Online / Planview / Clarity PPM / Smartsheet / Resource Guru / Mavenlink (Kantata) / Wrike / Monday.com / 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
Why take this role?
* 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
