IT Infrastructure Project Manager
International Banking Group - BAU Change
Central London - Hybrid Working (3 Days Onsite Per Week)
£75,000 – £80,000 DOE + Bonus + Benefits

Are you an experienced Infrastructure Project Manager who enjoys delivering smaller, business‑critical projects that keep core services stable, secure and optimised?

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected international banking group at AVP level (with genuine potential to step into VP in time). You’ll sit in the Continuous Service Improvement function, delivering a rolling pipeline of infrastructure change -  enhancing resilience, addressing risk, and improving service quality.

• Deliver a continuous pipeline of infrastructure projects (typically 2–3 at any time) across networks, data centre and wider core platforms.
• Own end‑to‑end delivery for BAU/“run the bank” change – upgrades, decommissions, migrations and other infra improvements, not large transformation programmes.
• Coordinate work between product owners, infrastructure/application teams, networks, data centre (e.g. Telehouse) and external vendors.
• Follow agreed governance and SDLC/PDLC processes, ensuring all changes are properly controlled, documented, and compliant.
• Drive planning, milestones, RAID and reporting, keeping stakeholders aligned on progress, risks and decisions.
• Ensure operational readiness and smooth implementation, including change submissions (ServiceNow / CAB) and clean handover back into BAU.

• Proven Infrastructure Project Manager background – comfortable delivering upgrades, decommissions, migrations and similar infra change.
• Strong understanding of infrastructure environments (networks, data centre, servers, platforms, etc.) – not hands‑on technical, but able to speak the language and challenge where needed.
• Solid experience working with ITSM and change processes (e.g. raising and managing changes in ServiceNow, CAB/change approval).
• Confident stakeholder manager, able to bring product owners, infra teams and vendors together to get things delivered.
• Able to juggle 2–3 concurrent projects, stay organised and maintain governance without heavy PMO support.
• Stable employment history – evidence of longevity in roles or long‑running contracts with extensions.

Desirable:

• Experience within a bank or other large, regulated financial institution.
• Familiarity with project/portfolio tools such as Planview.
• Formal PM qualifications (e.g. PRINCE2/PMI) are helpful but not essential versus proven delivery.

The ideal profile

• A seasoned infrastructure PM who is happy delivering smaller, business‑critical projects rather than chasing huge transformation programmes.
• Not a Programme Manager or Portfolio Manager, and not a first‑time/junior PM – someone who can hit the ground running and “just get the job done”.
• Potential to grow into VP level over time as the function matures, or a strong AVP who will provide stability and depth to a small team.

You’ll join a compact, high‑impact team where your work directly improves the stability and performance of key technology services. The hiring manager is focused on finding the right long‑term hire. If this sounds like you, please apply with your CV for immediate consideration.

• Maintain and troubleshoot servers, PCs, network infrastructure, and software.

Senior Linux/HPC Project Engineer & Team Lead
Hybrid Working with Offices near Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Package: Salary Circa £65k DOE + Benefits + Bonus

Join an international, next-generation HPC data centre organisation as a Senior HPC Engineer and Eastern Hemisphere Technical Project Team member. This is a varied, high-impact position with broad responsibility - blending Level 3 technical support, technical project delivery, leadership, and cross-team collaboration.

You’ll take a lead role on technical projects: scouting and evaluating new technology, running proof-of-concept initiatives, implementing solutions, and presenting outcomes to a wide audience. With significant autonomy, you’ll proactively identify and drive technological advancements and best practices, shaping both infrastructure and operations.

The current team is technically strong but needs a hands-on technical leader/architect to bridge the people-management gap. You don’t need to manage a large team, but you do need to run meetings, gather updates, confidently communicate with the business, and deputise for leadership - whether you already have people leadership experience or are ready to step up.

Responsbilities

• Lead and deliver end-to-end technical projects: discovery, evaluation, proof of concept, implementation, documentation, and presenting outcomes to a wide audience.
• Provide 3rd line (“last line”) escalation support for the most complex technical issues
• Work extensively on technical projects and proof of concepts, with a focus on next-generation data centre technologies (e.g. oil immersion cooling).
• Integrate new tools and technologies into business functions and continuously look to improve how existing systems operate.
• Act as a senior technical engineer/architect within an HPC and next-gen data centre environment.
• Serve as a strong deputy to senior leadership, stepping up to run meetings, gather updates, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders when required.
• Present confidently to various audiences, propose new technologies, and ensure communication is clear and professional at all times.
• Promote collaboration, pull together a technically strong but introverted team, and support mentoring as needed.
• Be proactive and autonomous: identify improvements and solutions independently, and bring them forward for team consideration.
• Potential travel to support wider regional projects, including new data centre builds (especially within Asia-Pacific), as required.
• As/when available, join a 24/7 on-call rota (approximately 10% on-call allowance), once settled into the role and as dictated by team needs.

• Strong technical background with advanced Linux engineering/architect-level experience; direct HPC background is highly desirable but not mandatory if you have high-level Linux and architectural skills and learn quickly.
• Proven ability to run technical projects end-to-end: from discovery through evaluation, proof of concept, implementation, documentation, and presentation.
• Experience integrating new technologies into business environments and improving existing systems.
• Ability to act as a hands-on senior technical engineer while also stepping up as deputy when needed.
• Comfortable running meetings, gathering updates, and communicating clearly and confidently with both technical colleagues and senior business stakeholders.
• Strong presentation skills; capable of proposing and explaining new technologies to different audiences.
• Team-oriented mindset—able to mentor, encourage collaboration, and help pull together a group of technically excellent but introverted engineers.
• Displays clear leadership potential or established leadership experience, with a willingness to develop people and stakeholder management skills.
• Proactive and autonomous: able to identify challenges and introduce improvements without waiting for specific instruction.
• Mature and experienced enough to fit as a senior technical leader
• Excellent communication in English, with experience engaging UK-based stakeholders.

• Wide remit: combine projects, leadership, and L3 troubleshooting
• Discovery and adoption of emerging tech (e.g., immersion cooling)
• Regional influence, with possible future travel across Asia-Pacific.
• Fast-growing, collaborative, close-knit team (4–5 core members).
• Hands-on role with lasting impact on team, tech vision, and operations.

Location: The office is near Haywards Heath / Burgess Hill and is easily commutable (15-35 minutes) from Crawley, Horsham, Worthing and Uckfield. Within an hour of Guildford, Woking, Royal Tunbridge Wells, South London, Maidstone and Eastbourne. Hybrid working is available, but candidates should ideally be within an hour of the office.
