In 2024, its home in Camden received 6.5 million visitors, more than any other museum in the UK. The Museum has deep and wide-ranging partnerships with museums, schools and communities in every corner of the UK and on every continent. Against this backdrop, the British Museum is now undergoing an extraordinary transformation, both physical and intellectual. We have built a new state of the art research centre in Reading, begun work on a new energy centre that will help us in our drive to become net zero, and we have just appointed world-renowned architect Lina Ghotmeh to rejuvenate and redevelop our Western Range - accounting for over a third of our galleries. This will be the biggest building project the Museum has undertaken since the Victorian era - indeed it will be one of the biggest and most exciting cultural renovations in the world. And that makes it a uniquely exciting time to join the Museum. And while the physical transformation will be spectacular in its own right, it is done in the service of a wider intellectual transformation. Alongside redesigning our galleries, and rethinking how we display the collection, we are documenting and digitising our entire collection and expanding our national and international loans programme. Taken together we are determined to make our collection the most accessible, used and enjoyed of any in the world. The British Museum is seeking to appoint a Client Project Manager (within the Estates and Capital Project department) to lead on the delivery of major capital projects within a Grade I listed building, to time and budget, whilst keeping the Museum open to millions of visitors per year and supporting the institution-wide transformation underway. Projects range from significant Masterplan projects, including the Western Range, high-profile front-of-house projects, to building and MEP infrastructure renewal and replacement, all to a high standard. The Client Project Manager will manage and deliver Museum capital construction projects according to best practice project management standards, the RIBA Plan of Work, and using the Museum's Project Management methodology, from inception to completion and final handover to the Client. As a globally recognised institution, the British Museum is committed to fostering diversity and inclusivity, and therefore strongly encourages applications from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups within the built environment. About you: Significant experience of working in a project management role dealing with all aspects of delivering a project, including procurement and contract management, in a multidisciplinary environment, ideally within a museum or heritage organisation Proven experience of managing allocated resources and budgets effectively, with the ability to monitor and control costs where possible. Demonstrable experience of stakeholder engagement and working effectively in teams. Ability and confidence to communicate effectively at all levels, both verbally and in writing, with experience of influencing and negotiating. About the British Museum: Founded in 1753, the British Museum's remarkable collection spans over two million years of human history and culture. The Museum is a leading visitor attraction, and its world-famous collection includes the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, the Sutton-Hoo finds, and the Lewis Chessmen. The Museum also holds an extensive collection of prints and drawings spanning 600 years, including works by the greatest graphic artists such as Dürer, Michelangelo and Rembrandt. You can view a selection of our impressive collection of prints and drawings in our virtual gallery. The Museum offers a competitive benefits package including: Generous annual leave allowance of 25 days (rising to 30 days after 10 years' service) plus 2.5 privilege days and plus bank holidays. Membership of the civil service defined benefit pension scheme (find out here what benefits a civil service pension provides). Free entry to a wide range of museums and exhibitions Participation in private and public Museum activities, including talks by leading curators from around the world and behind-the-scenes opportunities to learn how museums care for and manage their extraordinary collections.
