  • Compliance with our governance processes for renewal and improvement schemes, evidencing benefit and value for money to successfully secure funding for each stage of delivery.
  • Managing the utilisation and allocation of team resources to ensure appropriate resourcing levels, including the management of outsourced work.
  • Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, partners, including our supply chain and customers, looking for opportunities for efficiencies, working closely with internal and external stakeholders to implement ideas.

To be successful

  • You will be a Chartered, or Incorporated Member of the ICE, IHE, IHT with a Civil Engineering Degree, or equivalent and have extensive post-professional qualification with relevant experience to the role.
  • You will have strong leadership skills and extensive experience in managing a technical team.
