What you'll be doing

As one of our Project Managers, you will:
  • Lead and deliver complex, high-profile projects from the ground up - ensuring each one is set up for success.
  • Partner with Senior Responsible Owners (SROs) to deliver outcomes that are on time, on budget, and aligned to our strategic objectives.
  • Build strong governance frameworks, manage risks, and keep projects on track with confidence and clarity.

What we're looking for

You'll thrive in this role if you have:
  • Proven experience delivering significant or multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, able to build trust and credibility across a large, diverse organisation.
  • Strong knowledge of project management approaches (Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid) and experience supporting business change.
  • The ability to manage budgets, resources, and risks while always keeping sight of value for money and quality outcomes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery - and see their work make a visible difference across Lancashire.

If you're driven, collaborative, and excited by the chance to shape meaningful change, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply now and help us deliver the future of services in Lancashire - where your contributions truly matter.

Closing Date: 26/07/26 Interview Date: w/c 03/08/2026

In return for your passion and expertise, we offer a generous benefits package, which includes:
  • A competitive salary and Local Government Pension Scheme with generous employer contributions.
  • A great holiday entitlement of 26 days annual leave, which increases with length of service. You will also be entitled to 8 Bank Holidays, 2 additional statutory Bank Holidays, and have the option to buy additional leave each year.
