The Royal Household is preparing for a massive renovation, with the Queen looking to employ someone to carry out the momentous task. The restoration will cost an estimated £406million and the Royal Household has posted a job listing for a planner.

According to the listing, the ideal candidate is someone who already has experience with historic building construction projects, has great communication skills, and is digitally savvy.

The role would require the successful candidate to provide support for the strategic planner and providing communications between the Program Management Office and all the different contractors and consultants working on the project.

It comes as Buckingham Palace readies itself for a ten-year programme of works to overhaul its infrastructure.

Some of this work will include electrical cabling, plumbing and heating.

All of these being done for the first time since the 1950s.

The Palace is looking for a dedicated in-house Programme Management Office (PMO) oversees delivery to ensure the building.

The role is expected to span 50 years.

Technical, hands-on history buffs who are qualified for the job are likely to jump at the chance to work in such an iconic building.

This is so the Queen and her family can carry on as normal while the work goes on.

Some of the events that are crucial to royal protocol, such as Trooping the Colour, are expected to take place this year and cannot for any reason be disturbed.

The Queen has even offered to host Princess Beatrice’s wedding reception at the Palace.

LinkedIn shows that there have already been more then 200 applicants to the job.

The application deadline is February 11, with those thinking about applying to the job urged not to wait.

The renovation comes as the royal household goes through several separate metaphorical renovations.

Last month, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced via an Instagram post that they planned to step away from royal life and live a more independent and private life.

The couple said they planned on splitting their time between the UK and North America, and becoming economically free of public funding.

Now, it has been reported that the pair plan on further splitting their time between Canada and LA, as they look to buy a house on the West Coast on top of the £10million property they currently rent in Vancouver.

Of the potential move, a source told People Magazine: “They love being in Canada, but they are looking at houses in LA too. They’ll likely have houses in both places.”

“They are enjoying living a quiet life. They go for long walks, they do yoga, and Meghan cooks, they are real homebodies who love to chill out with Archie and the dogs.”
