Location: Colchester

Salary: £72,000-£75,000 + £5,900 car allowance

Benefits: 7.5% pension, private healthcare and family-friendly benefits

Contract: Permanent

300 North is recruiting four PFI Lifecycle Managers for a leading facilities management and infrastructure business, with one opportunity in each location.

Joining a newly established team, you will manage lifecycle planning and project delivery across PFI estates within healthcare, education and libraries. With contracts approaching handback in 2029-2030, you will play a key role in ensuring buildings and assets meet the required standards through well-planned refurbishment and replacement programmes.

The role

• Develop and manage three-to-five-year lifecycle plans, prioritising works against asset condition, contractual requirements and available funding.

   

• Deliver refurbishment, M&E and building fabric projects from initial scope through procurement, delivery and commissioning.

   

• Manage lifecycle budgets and funds, monitoring costs, programme and quality.

   

• Procure and manage contractors, ensuring works are delivered safely with minimal disruption to building users.

   

• Work closely with FM teams, clients, SPVs and handback colleagues to coordinate programmes and maintain accurate project records.

   

About you

You will bring strong technical knowledge and project management experience, with a track record of delivering asset replacement or refurbishment works within operational buildings.

PFI lifecycle experience is highly desirable. Applications are also welcomed from candidates with relevant experience in FM projects, M&E, building fabric, construction, refurbishment or commissioning.

You should be confident managing budgets, contractors and stakeholders, with the ability to translate asset requirements into practical, deliverable programmes.

The opportunity

These permanent positions offer the chance to help establish a new lifecycle and handback capability, with the business intending to retain this expertise for future PFI opportunities.

Hybrid working combines home, regional office and site visits. You will need to live within reasonable travelling distance of your allocated region.
