 Project Manager (New Build Prison) St Helena Island, South Atlantic 2 years FTC available immediately £55k pa, depending on experience and qualifications, plus International Supplement   Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Although better placed to develop economically and socially as a result of opening our international airport in 2017, we are not at the stage of self-sufficiency and therefore remain dependent on UK government aid. The island is famous for being the place of incarceration of Napoleon Bonaparte in the final years of his life. Now, design specifications for a new build prison to accommodate circa 60 inmates have been developed in consultation with the Ministry of Justice, based largely on category C prison design. The Government has contracted a Design and Supervise consultancy to produce final design, construction and technical drawings in October 2025, following which a local construction firm will be appointed. You will lead the project through the RIBA project cycle working closely with the Project Executive and Programme Manager, ensuring all interests are fully represented at Project Board and remain a focus throughout the project life. You will own safely, timing, budget and quality, measuring and reporting on project performance to governance bodies to allow evidence-based decision making. This will include procurement and contract management of consultants, contractors and suppliers. You must co-ordinate the project through the remaining design stages, leading the design authority team, ensuring the design complies with relevant policies, standards and regulations. You should develop and maintain project plans and schedules, taking into account technical feasibility, dependencies, constraints, stakeholders and resources. You will negotiate and manage the contractor’s programme of works and undertake contract administration and management by interfacing with Procurement Services and the Attorney General’s Chambers. Qualified to level 6 in an appropriate discipline such as engineering or management, you must hold practitioner level qualification such as APM, PRINCE 2 or PMI. Having already been a PM in end-to-end projects you have managed large complex projects to an approved standard or regulation and are able to work in an environment with significant political interest. Understanding the RIBA Plan of Works 2022, your good quality report writing and communication skills are supported by the ability to provide clear and coherent information to a range of stakeholders. In addition, you must demonstrate our core values of fairness, integrity and teamwork and use your diverse expertise and experiences to ensure your time on the Island has the broadest benefit to St Helena.  As a Technical Co-Operation Officer, you will be expected to share your knowledge and skills beyond the workplace contributing to workforce, community and capacity development in St Helena. Our Benefits Package Includes: An International Supplement (of at least £15,900 per annum), full details of which are in the Overseas Vacancy Information at sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh Relocation Allowances, full details of which are in the Overseas Vacancy Information at sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh Annual Pension Contribution of 7.5% of salary Annual Leave of 30 days per annum plus Public Holidays   How to Apply: An application form is available at sthelenapublicservicejobs.sh where further information can also be found, or you may contact Kedell Worboys on 0203 818 7610 or via email: shgukrep@sthelenagov.com .
