IT Project Manager

IT Project Manager/ Delivery Manager

Wembley

Flannery Plant Hire is one of the UK's leading providers of operated and self-drive plant equipment, supporting major infrastructure and construction projects nationwide. Through investment in people, technology and innovation, we continue to build the workforce of the future.

About the role

We're looking for an IT Project Manager / Delivery Manager to lead the planning, execution, and delivery of technology projects that keep this scale of operation running smoothly — from depot systems and telematics/fleet-management platforms to machine control and GPS technology, plus the core business systems that support our people, safety, and sustainability commitments. You'll act as the bridge between business stakeholders (across depots, operations, and digital construction), technical teams, and vendors — ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to a high standard of quality. This role suits someone who thrives on structure, communicates clearly under pressure, and knows how to keep complex, cross-functional work moving across a nationwide depot network.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of IT projects, from scoping and planning through execution, go-live, and post-launch review — including projects spanning our Head Office and depot network

• Develop and maintain project plans, timelines, budgets, and resource allocations

• Define project scope, goals, and deliverables in collaboration with stakeholders across IT, Digital Construction, Operations, and depot teams

• Coordinate cross-functional teams (engineering, infrastructure, security, digital construction/machine control, QA, business analysts) to ensure alignment

• Support delivery of telematics, fleet-management, and machine control/GPS system projects alongside our Digital Construction team

• Identify, track, and mitigate project risks and issues, escalating proactively when needed

• Manage vendor and third-party relationships, including contracts, SOWs, and SLAs where relevant

• Run regular status meetings, steering committees, and stakeholder updates with clear, concise reporting to depots and Head Office alike

• Maintain project documentation: charters, RAID logs, status reports, change requests, and post-implementation reviews

• Apply appropriate delivery methodology (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid) based on project needs

• Manage change control and ensure scope changes are properly assessed and approved

• Support budget tracking and forecasting, flagging variances early

• Champion continuous improvement of delivery processes, tools, and templates across the IT function, supporting Flannery's ongoing investment in digital and sustainable innovation

What we’re looking for

Required:

• 2-3 years of experience managing IT/technology projects (infrastructure, software implementation, systems integration, or similar)

• Strong understanding of project delivery methodologies

• Proven track record delivering projects on time and within budget

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, including with senior leadership

• Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, Monday.com )

• Solid grasp of IT concepts — enough to engage credibly with engineers and architects without needing to be hands-on technical

• Strong risk management, prioritization, and problem-solving skills

Preferred:

• PMP, PRINCE2, or Scrum Master (CSM/PSM) certification

• Experience managing vendor/outsourced delivery teams

• Background in construction, plant/equipment hire, logistics, or another multi-site operational business

What success looks like:

• Projects consistently delivered on scope, on time, and on budget

• Stakeholders trust your status reports and feel informed, not surprised

• Risks are surfaced early and managed proactively, not fought as fires

• Teams find working with you clarifying rather than bureaucratic

What We Offer:

• Competitive Salary: We offer a highly competitive salary and package that reflects your skills and experience.
• Generous Leave: Enjoy 24 days plus bank holiday annual leave and personal leave to maintain a healthy work life balance.
• Professional Development: Take advantage of training programs, workshops, and seminars to enhance your skills and advance your career.
• Employee Assistance Program: Access to free, confidential support services for personal and work-related issues.
• Environmental and Safety Commitment: Join a company that prioritises safety and sustainability, ensuring a safe and Eco-friendly working environment.
• Modern Equipment: Work with the best and latest plant and machinery in the industry.
• Team Oriented Culture: Be part of a supportive and collaborative team that values each member’s contribution.
• Recognition Programs: Acknowledge and reward outstanding performance and dedication with various recognition programs.
