Ever dreamt of working at Buckingham Palace? Find out how you could be in with a chance of helping oversee the Palace's first major refurbishment since the 1950s...
The Queen is looking for a Planner to work closely with the current team in the Programme Management Office.
The successful candidate's main job will be overseeing the ten-year refurbishment plan - set to cost a whopping £369 million. A project set to "preserve the palace for years to come" and ensure it is "fit for the future".
The listing details more about the huge-scale renovation the successful applicant will be working on and says, "Buckingham Palace is currently undergoing a ten-year programme of works to overhaul its infrastructure - including electrical cabling, plumbing and heating - for the first time since the 1950's. A dedicated in-house Programme Management Office (PMO) oversees delivery to ensure the building is fit for purpose for the next 50 years."
To be in with a chance of being successful, you’ll need to be a "good communicator" and comfortable working on projects that are "large scale" when it comes to "duration and complexity". You'll also need to have experience in a construction project environment.
The job, originally posted to LinkedIn and within the "working for us" section of the Royal Household's website, will pay up to £38,000 dependant on experience and is a permanent position based at Buckingham Palace.
