Our client is a leading private sector provider of public transport.

Their businesses are at the heart of local communities, and the essential services they provide are critical to delivering wider economic, social, and environmental goals.

They are the UK's first public transport operator to commit to ambitious science-based targets to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

This includes a commitment to a 100% zero emission fleet by 2035, with ~15% zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) in service by March 2024.

Firstly, drive the execution of the clients electrification programme of works, with active coordination across vehicle, construction, engineering, software backend and depot teams in multiple concurrent locations.

The role-holder would also be the primary interface with project partners such as local transport authorities, and lead monitoring and evaluation of existing deployments.

Secondly, project manage a variety of decarbonisation workstreams which may span from depot fleet electrification projects, scheduled charging rollouts and estates transformation as the client transitions to a zero emissions fleet.

Drive, coordinate, track, and report on the clients EV rollout program, integrating across construction, vehicle procurement, engineering, software partners and local site functions, while ensuring programme progress aligns with budget and timelines.

Oversee all business readiness activities in preparation for EV deployment including network changes, engineer/driver training and site engagement events.

Proactively identify and troubleshoot issues, implementing creative solutions to maintain programme schedule.

Serve as the primary interface with key external partners including local transport authorities and manage communication of programme updates.

Consolidate data and processes across existing EV deployments, ensuring consistent processes and lead ongoing monitoring and evaluation of existing deployments.

Conduct regular assessments of EV performance metrics, analysing data to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
Financial reports - forecasts, spend tracking and estimates to complete

Assist the Programme Director in forward programme planning, including capex approvals and EV strategy development for new route types (coaches, airport routes, non-EV suitable routes).

Possess demonstrably successful experience (5+ years) in programme management, ideally leading large-scale initiatives within the transportation or engineering sector.

Deliver projects on time and within budget, consistently exceeding expectations.
Demonstrate a proactive and solution-oriented approach, constantly identifying and resolving challenges related to decarbonisation projects. Be a champion for continuous improvement, implementing processes to optimize performance and efficiency.
