We're seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead a business-critical GIS transformation within the utilities sector. This role centres on the upgrade of GE Smallworld and the rollout of a new Zone Sub Design Tool, supporting key planning and design functions across the organisation.

This is a technically complex, on-premise deployment involving infrastructure upgrades, system integration, and end-to-end project delivery across multiple teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the full lifecycle of a GIS Smallworld upgrade and Design Tool rollout - from planning, procurement, and configuration through to testing and go-live.

Develop project plans, define scope and architecture, manage risks, and align delivery with IT infrastructure and cybersecurity teams.

Oversee the on-premise infrastructure setup, including server, storage, and firewall configurations.

Manage cross-functional stakeholders, including engineering, GIS, IT, and vendors.

Deliver detailed reporting, risk mitigation strategies, and rollout communications to senior leadership.

About You:

Proven experience delivering large-scale IT rollouts involving enterprise systems and infrastructure (GE Smallworld experience highly desirable).

Background in the utilities or asset-intensive sectors.

Strong understanding of Zone Sub Design Tools or similar spatial planning tools.

Technical knowledge of on-premise deployment, network segmentation, and firewall/security protocols.

Strong stakeholder engagement, leadership, and communication skills.

PMP or equivalent certification preferred.

This is a great opportunity to lead a high-impact program that directly supports the future of utility asset design and spatial data management.
