Interim Project Manager - Decarbonisation & Retrofit (Social Housing)
Location: Hampshire (Hybrid Working)
Day Rate: £350 per day
Contract Length: 3 Months (with possibility of extension)
Overview
We are seeking an experienced Interim Project Manager to support an early‑stage options appraisal project focused on the decarbonisation and regeneration of four high‑risk residential buildings. This role will play a key part in developing a range of viable retrofit strategies, from minimum compliance solutions through to full "gold standard" decarbonisation schemes. Project values are expected to range between £7m‑£20m depending on the option selected.
Role Responsibilities
- The programme aims to achieve EPC C by 2030 and may include heating system replacement, fabric upgrades, and wider regeneration works. Options under consideration range from minimal upgrades to full retrofit with heat networks, and potential stock transfer scenarios.
- You will report into a senior manager and work closely with teams across retrofit, compliance, asset management, and data functions.
- Develop detailed, costed options including risks, timelines, and technical complexities.
- Assess key technical elements (heating systems, energy infrastructure, substations, heat networks).
- Build high‑level project plans for each proposed option.
- Identify efficiencies, economies of scale, and potential return on investment.
- Analyse and utilise existing data (retrofit, FRA, and structural reports).
- Coordinate and consolidate inputs from multiple internal stakeholders.
- Produce clear, structured outputs to support decision‑making.
Key Requirements
- Strong hands‑on project management experience within construction, retrofit, or building safety.
- Proven experience working on high‑risk/high‑rise residential buildings.
- Deep understanding of decarbonisation and retrofit, including:
- Heat networks and energy infrastructure upgrades.
- Building Safety Regulator and compliance requirements.
- Technically credible, with the ability to interpret and challenge complex information.
- Relevant construction or building‑related qualification (essential).
- Track record of delivery‑focused roles (not purely strategic/programme‑level experience).
