For our client, an important banking institution, we are looking for an IT Infrastructure Project Manager.

Hands-On Infrastructure Delivery

• Lead the technical execution of infrastructure projects from design through implementation and go-live;
• Actively review and validate low-level designs, build documents, and configuration plans;
• Translate business and application requirements into concrete infrastructure solutions;
• Ensure infrastructure components are correctly built, integrated, secured, and tested;
• Participate directly in technical discussions, troubleshooting, and implementation planning.

Project Planning & Execution

• Define and manage project scope, timelines, milestones, deliverables, and dependencies;
• Create realistic project plans based on actual technical effort and constraints, not theoretical estimates;
• Coordinate day-to-day activities across network, systems, security, database, and middleware teams;
• Track progress, risks, and issues and take corrective actions when delivery is at risk;
• Drive projects through cutover, migration, and production go-live phases.

Technical Coordination & Integration

• Serve as the technical glue between infrastructure domains:
• Network (Cisco routing, switching, firewalls);
• Systems (UNIX/Linux, Red Hat, IBM AIX, Windows);
• Platform & Virtualization (VMware, OpenShift, Kubernetes);
• Cloud (AWS, Azure, hybrid connectivity);
• Security (network security, segmentation, access control);
• Ensure end-to-end infrastructure integration works in practice, not just on paper;
• Validate that solutions meet requirements for availability, performance, security, and supportability.

Operational Readiness

• Ensure monitoring, logging, backup, patching, and operational procedures are in place before go-live;
• Work closely with operations and support teams to ensure clean handover to run;
• Identify and resolve technical debt or design gaps during project delivery;
• Support post-implementation stabilization and issue resolution.

Stakeholder & Vendor Interaction

• Work directly with engineers, architects, security teams, and application owners;
• Act as a technically credible counterpart to vendors and system integrators, challenging assumptions and deliverables;
• Provide clear, factual status updates based on real technical progress.

The Ideal Candidate:

• 6+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience;
• 3+ years in a technical project lead or infrastructure project manager role;
• Experience in mission-critical or regulated environments (e.g., financial services) is an advantage;
• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience;
• Proficient in both verbal and written English;
• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, IPMA) is a plus, not a substitute for technical depth;
• Technical certifications (Cisco, Red Hat, VMware, Cloud, Kubernetes) are highly valued.

Please apply online with a detailed CV or send in your application to [email protected]. All suitable candidates will be contacted within 2 weeks.
