At CGI, we help public sector organisations modernise critical technology with confidence, creating resilient services that deliver lasting value for the communities they support. As an IT Project Manager within our Application Upgrade Programme for our client, you’ll take ownership of application and infrastructure upgrades from planning through to successful delivery. You’ll coordinate technical teams and suppliers, manage commercial performance and give clients clear insight into progress, risks and outcomes. With the autonomy to drive delivery and find practical solutions to complex challenges, you’ll work alongside experienced architecture, infrastructure and delivery specialists who share their expertise and support your success. This is an opportunity to make a visible impact within a significant technology estate while developing your project leadership expertise at CGI.

CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK ‘Best Employer’ by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you’ll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We’ll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

This is a hybrid position, but you will be expected to work at CGI’s Office and/or our client’s offices in Glasgow.

• Own & Resolve: Maintain risks and issues within RiskIT, ensuring they are clearly documented, actively managed and appropriately escalated.

• Improve & Support: Identify practical opportunities to strengthen delivery while collaborating with colleagues to achieve successful client outcomes.
