Job Introduction

We are seeking a skilled and motivated professional to lead the implementation of digital systems supporting a major PFI expiry programme. This role will play a critical part in ensuring that asset information, handback compliance, and data assurance requirements are met through the effective deployment and integration of Activeplan and related systems.

Working closely with the Senior Management Team, you will support the introduction of additional digital tools as the contract progresses toward expiry, helping to protect contract value and support retention. You will ensure that asset data is accurately structured, validated, and accessible, enabling informed decision-making and providing assurance that contractual standards are consistently achieved during this crucial transition period.

What You'll Do:

• Lead the configuration, deployment, and adoption of Activeplan as the core asset information system supporting PFI expiry
• Manage the migration, validation, and reconciliation of data from existing CAFM and asset systems
• Ensure digital systems support PFI handback compliance, including asset verification, condition surveys, and supporting evidence
• Work closely with NHS Trusts, PFI management companies, FM teams, and external consultants to align data standards and system use
• Establish and maintain robust information governance, including data ownership, version control, and audit trails
• Deliver training, guidance, and ongoing support to operational teams to ensure effective system use and data integrity
• Develop dashboards and performance reports to track PFI expiry progress, compliance status, and handback readiness
• Drive continuous improvement in digital workflows, system integration, and automation to enhance accuracy and efficiency

What You Bring:

• Proven experience implementing digital asset management or CAFM systems within estates or FM environments
• Strong knowledge of Activeplan or equivalent asset information management platforms (desirable)
• Good understanding of PFI contracts, expiry processes, and NHS estates information standards
• Excellent data management, analytical, and project delivery skills
• Ability to translate complex technical data into clear, actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders
• Experience managing multidisciplinary teams and working with third-party software vendors
• Degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Facilities Management, or a related technical discipline
• Project management qualification (e.g. APM, PRINCE2, Agile) desirable

What we offer:

• Unlimited access to an online platform offering mental health and wellbeing support.
• Employee Assistance Programme to help with everyday issues or larger problems where you may need additional support, including legal and financial advice, support with work related issues or personal issues such as bereavement.
• Access to a free health and wellbeing app that provides rewards for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and includes access to a 24hr virtual GP and various other services.
• The Sodexo Discounts Scheme, offering great deals 24/7 (also open to friends and family) and/or the prepayment cashback card.
