The Francis Crick Institute is Europe’s largest biomedical research institute under one roof. Our world-class scientists and staff collaborate on vital research to help prevent, diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases and neurodegenerative conditions.
The Crick is a place for collaboration, innovation and exploration across many disciplines. A space where the brightest minds can pursue big and bold ideas and discover answers to crucial scientific questions. We support them in a dynamic environment which fosters excellence with state-of-the-art infrastructure, cutting‑edge facilities, and a creative and curious culture. We’ve removed traditional boundaries of departments, divisions and disciplines and instead have an open approach that supports every researcher. This gives us the freedom to take risks and carry out high‑quality, pioneering research. Creating a space for discovery without boundaries helps us to turn our science into benefits for human health and the economy.
We are seeking an experienced, ambitious Senior Project Manager to lead the delivery of complex laboratory rearrangements, refurbishments, and infrastructure upgrades across the Institute. This is a high‑impact role where you will manage engineering and building services projects end‑to‑end, ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest technical standards.
You will play a key leadership role within the Engineering Projects team, with opportunities to mentor colleagues, lead project teams, and contribute to long term succession planning as part of our talent review process. With experience delivering complex engineering and building services projects particularly lab refurbishments or infrastructure upgrades, you will be adept at building strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels and navigating the unique challenges of a scientific environment so you must be an excellent communicator and strong collaborator.
This role is also a development pathway, with the postholder being supported and prepared as a potential future successor to the Head of Engineering Projects. It would ideally suit someone with an engineering background who has moved into the project management space with science research experience.
