Manchester, United Kingdom UK Civil Service Full time

Job summary

This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the delivery to a key government priority and make a meaningful impact on society. The Shared Rural Network (SRN) is a close-knit team, and you'll be joining a professional Programme Management Office (PMO) with a passion for driving equitable access to digital infrastructure in rural areas. As a Programme Lead, you will�lead the day-to-day operations of the SRN projects, including budget oversight, resource allocation and developing risk strategies to ensure successful programme delivery.�

The Shared Rural Network (SRN) is a world-leading �1 billion government deal with the UK�s four Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) EE, O2, Three and Vodafone that will see both public and private investment in a network of new and existing phone masts closing not-spots and levelling up connectivity across every corner of the UK. It will ensure geographic coverage from at least one operator to 95% of the UK and improve mobile coverage for an extra 280,000 premises and 16,000km of roads � giving the UK the world-class digital infrastructure it deserves.��

The programme will lead to increases in coverage across all four nations, with the biggest coverage improvements in rural parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.� The Government is investing �500 million to build new masts in areas with no existing infrastructure. This includes �185m in Government funding (�130m in direct funding from DSIT to Home Office and �54m paid to Mobile Network Operators from the Grant funding) to upgrade Extended Area Service (EAS) masts being built as part of the Emergency Services Network (ESN) to make them usable by the four MNOs. This will help eliminate �total not-spots� - the hard to reach areas where there is currently no coverage at all from any operator. These two elements combined will provide 2% coverage (1% EAS & 1% TNS).

Join us in shaping the future of connectivity and�making a real difference in the lives of people across the country.
