Didcot, United Kingdom Science and Technology Facilities Council Full time

**Project Manager (Science Research Infrastructure Projects)**

Science and Technology Facilities Council

**Salary**: £39,748 to £44,166 per annum, pro rata if Part Time (dependent on skills and experience)
Hours: Full time or Part time considered
Contract Type: Open Ended
Location: Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell, Oxfordshire
Closing Date: 17th January 2023

The RAL Particle Physics Project Office manages many of the UK's national and international particle physics research-infrastructure projects. The resulting experiments contribute to fundamental understanding of the building blocks of the universe in a fieldwhere only few people in the world have such enviable access. As project manager you will manage one or more of a wide range of these UK projects. Our growing portfolio includes DUNE, Hyper-K, CMS, SWIFT-HEP, LHCb, AIT and AION.

The role is non-technical and would equally suit an applicant who has a background in science and technology or an applicant from a completely different field. Both of whom we believe would bring valuable skills to the role in different ways. The role isprimarily office-based in the UK however, working conditions may be flexible partly reflecting the geographically distributed nature of the projects.

As Project Manager, you will work alongside the Principal Investigator to ensure that UK contributions are delivered most appropriately to the international projects. The projects are mostly waterfall in nature but have elements of agile. They involve thedefinition, design, construction, co-ordination, delivery and commissioning of significant technical and scientific contributions to international experiments, ranging from mechanical hardware (such as large detector components), civil engineering (undergroundtunnels) through state-of-the-art electronics to software for experiment control and data analysis. You will ensure that suitable management of the project is in place to enable reliable planning and informed decision making to provide accurate and informativereporting through the use and maintenance of appropriate project tools.

The main challenge for the project manager is the management of the collaborative aspects of the projects. The projects are long-term (>3 years) and often part of long running programmes (~20 years). In the UK this can involve a national collaboration oftypically 15 university physics departments as well as STFC national laboratories working together to deliver to the international programme. UK project costs range up to the tens of £millions. There is a strong element of financial management required forthe role. You must exhibit a pragmatic attitude towards the work of others, particularly in a collaborative environment where there is no line-management control of participants.

**Person Specification**
- Essential: _
- Project management qualification equivalent to APM PMQ (S)
- Experience of delivering projects as project manager (S&I)
- Demonstrable excitement for our projects (S&I)
- Strong communication and personal skills, good writing style (cover letter), experience of comprehensive reporting and presenting, ability to integrate into a highly collaborative and semi-structured environment. Pragmatic and flexible approach (S&I)
- Analytical approach with confidence in the use of project scheduling and analytical tools (I)
- Commitment to continuous improvement and to be challenged (I)
- Ability to undertake some travel within the UK and perhaps abroad. (S)
