The role holder will collaborate and build up successful relationships with wider MCA colleagues such as those in the Directorate of Maritime Safety and Standards, providing resources for their maritime surveyors, and also with external stakeholders when carrying out responsibilities such as contract management and negotiation for a large volume of HMCG contracts.

The Head of Coastal Resources is a rewarding role and is invaluable in ensuring the operational effectiveness of the MCA frontline operations and for the safety of its personnel and volunteers.

- Preparing, monitoring, and managing a programme and capital budget of circa. £5.5m per annum. Ensuring compliance with financial governance and stewardship of public funds, and the preparation of accurate monthly financial reports.
- Having strategic oversight of operational resourcing with HM Coastguard which will include engaging and liaising with operational staff, senior management, and wider MCA business functions to identify operational need, review current and future capability and identify any shortfalls.
- Preparing and submitting business cases for governance board approval, writing of technical specifications, and procuring resources in line with government and MCA procurement rules and best practice. This includes holding contract negotiations to ensure best service and value for money is achieved.
- Project managing the purchase of new vehicles, equipment, and capabilities into service including fit out and delivery. Assist in the development of policies and associated training for new equipment and resources.
- Monitoring developments and identifying new technology or equipment to meet HM Coastguard’s operational delivery requirements. Where necessary set up and lead the trial and evaluation process for new equipment ensuring effective validation and verification of results.
