We are seeking an experienced Systems Configuration Manager to support a major transformation programme within a large, complex Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) environment.
This role sits at the intersection of legacy systems, configuration management, and large-scale change, helping to baseline, rationalise, and transition long-established system configurations into a new, modernised systems estate.
The Role
* Analyse and understand complex, long-standing system configurations (old)
* Capture, document, and structure configuration data into a clear, manageable format

* Support the migration of configuration data into new systems as part of a wider transformation programme
* Work closely with operational teams, system suppliers, and contractors to assimilate configuration knowledge
* Engage confidently with senior stakeholders and supply chain partners
* Provide wider support to systems and contract management activities as required
This is not a hands-on technical delivery role it requires strong analytical capability, systems understanding, and the ability to operate effectively in a complex stakeholder environment.
Essential Experience
* Proven experience analysing, capturing, and presenting complex information sets from multiple sources
* Experience creating processes, tools, or frameworks for managing systems or configuration data
* Strong stakeholder management skills, including engagement with senior and technical audiences
* Experience working in complex, multi-supplier environments
* Background in highways, transport, or Intelligent Transport Systems
Desirable Experience
* Knowledge of Variable Message Signage (VMS) or traffic management systems
* Experience with systems configuration management, system transitions, or change programmes
* Understanding of IT architecture or data systems
This role would suit someone comfortable working at a high level, bringing clarity to complexity, and playing a key role in shaping the future of a nationally critical transport system.
