Buckingham, United Kingdom The Royal Household Full time
About the role

It's moving the whole household forward.

It’s protecting, and developing, a unique institution. And it’s the pride in joining a team at the heart of a world-famous institution. This is what makes working for the Royal Household exceptional.

Buckingham Palace is currently in its seventh year of a ten-year Reservicing Programme to overhaul its electrical cabling, heating and plumbing.

As the Operations and Moves Manager you'll be responsible for project managing the entire relocation operation that will run alongside the reservicing work.

You’ll manage a small team to define the scale, scope and timings of varied moves, ensuring minimal disruption to the King’s programme and ensuring Royal Household activities can continue around the Programme works.

You'll create short and long term move strategies and deliver plans that will help ensure the programme's overall success.

As the key interface with a range of internal stakeholders you'll consult with those impacted by the construction works and moves and will keep the household up-to-date and engaged with the Reservicing Programme. You'll manage the procurement of contractors and monitor progress to ensure people are moved out of areas to meet the construction programme deadlines and to the highest standards.

Managing a moves masterplan will not come without its challenges. But with effective planning and your business knowledge, you'll ensure the smooth running of each and every move.
