2 weeks ago

London, Greater London, United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Full time

Date:28 Jun 2023

Location:
London, GB

Company:
Civil Aviation Authority

Salary:
Up to £65,000 dependent upon experience

Contract Type:
Permanent - Full time

We are the UK's aviation regulator and recognised as a world leader in its field.

Our activities are diverse, enabling the aviation industry to meet the highest safety standards, and we pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to the constantly evolving aviation environment.


The Role
Airspace is a crucial part of the UK's infrastructure.

Upgrading airspace is essential to open up airspace for all users, including general aviation flyers and new types of aircraft, such as drones, to provide the opportunity for reducing noise and to improve capacity for the aviation industry to reduce traffic delays when the demand returns.

Critically, the emissions savings modernisation can deliver are a key component of the UK's commitment to reach net zero by 2050.

The Department for Transport (DfT) and CAA are co-sponsors of airspace modernisation. The Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS) was originally published by the CAA in 2018.

This year we have refreshed the AMS extending the strategy out to 2040, placing integration of all airspace users at the core of the strategy.

That includes accommodating new aerial vehicles like drones, advanced air mobility and spacecraft. The refreshed strategy aims for simpler airspace design and supporting regulations.

It also puts sustainability as an overarching principle, to be applied through all modernisation activities, including better managing noise and helping achieve government commitments to net zero emissions.

It also aligns delivery of its elements with the ICAO Global Air Navigation Plan, providing a clear strategic path for rulemaking activities, now that the UK has left the EU and the European Aviation Safety Agency.


The refreshed strategy is made up of 9 industry-led elements, all of which require clear governance and oversight, to ensure delivery on the overall strategic aims of modernisation.


To this end, we are looking for an experienced project/programme governance professional to act as the Principal for this unique and seismic programme of work.


As the Principal, your main responsibility will be to ensure that oversight and reporting on all AMS elements are aligned to the governance structure, agreed processes and reporting methods.

This will require you to integrate and influence the various industry delivery groups through the building of positive relationships, utilisation of programme governance insight, setting up new processes and procedures to support that, and effective leadership.


To achieve the desired programme outcomes, you will have to walk with your industrial partners every step of the way.

This includes everything from the oversight of the initial implementation plans and stakeholder engagement plans development, to the tracking of the work schedules against the plan.

This is vital in allowing you to proactively identify, track and raise any risks and cross-dependencies that may impact the AMS delivery.

Your assessments will go to the very heart of Government and will be presented to the DfT regularly, and Secretary of State on an annual basis.


About You

  • Extensive Project/Programme Management experience, preferably in a customer facing PMO or Programme Governance context
  • Proven track record in building positive, long standing relationships with partners and customers
  • Possess a driven, delivery focussed demeanour
  • Excellent social, listening and communication skills, both written and verbal
  • A formal Project Management qualification e.g., MSc, PRINCE2, PMP, PMBOK, PMI, P3O, PMQ etc
  • Knowledge of the Quality Management System ISO9001:2015 standards and practices would be advantageous

What Can We Offer You


This is a rare and exciting opportunity to play a vital role in one of the most complex modernisation programmes of UK airspace.

Your work will support policy and strategy decision making at the very highest levels and will help facilitate new technologies and innovations including commercial space flight and drone operations.


Additional Information
For many appointments within the CAA, these roles require access to operationally sensitive infrastructure and/or Nationally Protected information. For these roles the post holders must undergo National Security Vetting and achieve the appropriate level of clearance.

The CAA values high ethical standards and personal integrity among employees. If invited for interview you will be asked to complete a declaration of interest.

Working With Us
We offer a range of excellent benefits such as flexible working arrangements, free onsite gym at Gatwick, discounted gym membership for London, 28 days annual leave, additional 5 days leave purchase scheme, a generous pension scheme and much more

We are on a journey towards being increasingly adaptable, where our colleagues collaborate as part
