The Strategic Road Network (SRN) is one of the most critical pieces of national infrastructure, connecting towns and cities and people and places. It is used by us all. National Highways run the SRN and the government is committed to investing £24bn upgrading it as part of the Roads Investment Strategy.

One focus of your role is to lead our work on the commercial sponsorship of all National Highways’ projects, with a particular focus on ensuring that the commercial aspects (including commercial strategies, procurement, contracts and contract management) of its Tier 1 major schemes - those that are over £500 million or considered ‘novel, contentious or repercussive’ - help achieve the Department’s requirements as client for the projects. Another focus will be to lead on our work reviewing National Highways’ procurement activity and managing contracts a PFI and concession contract. You will line manage a Commercial Sponsor and contribute to the successful running of the divisional team.

You and your team will ensure appropriate governance and assurance of all commercial matters. You will work closely with colleagues in National Highways and in DfT Group Commercial, whilst supporting the wider sponsorship within the RaPID Directorate with any commercial challenges and building commercial skills and capability.

**Person specification**:
You will be a self starter with the ability to prioritise conflicting tasks. You will have excellent stakeholder engagement skills, collaborating with a range of stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes. You can convey complex information in non technical terms, tailoring your communication style to suit your audience.

**Responsibilities**

**_ Include, but not limited to:_**
- Lead for the sponsorship teams within the RaPID Directorate on the commercial and procurement strategies, commercial components of business cases and wider commercial aspects of Tier 1 road schemes - ensuring that the Department understands the key risks and issues, providing a robust level of scrutiny and challenge in a supportive way which helps National Highways to succeed. The primary focus will be on those schemes with bespoke commercial delivery models (currently the Lower Thames Cross, A303 Stonehenge and A66 schemes).
- Provide advice on these delivery frameworks to Project Sponsors whose schemes are using the frameworks and to colleagues reviewing National Highways’ overall effectiveness and delivery of efficiency savings. Share best practice and lessons learned across the Department in order that other teams can maximise commercial opportunities.
- Manage the Department’s relationship with the Midlands Expressway Limited (M6 Toll), provide contractual governance for commercial decisions made by Midlands Expressway Limited and lead on issues and risks relating to National Highways’ other existing Design, Build, Finance and Operate (DBFO) contracts.
- Support the wider RaPID Directorate on commercial matters as and when required. Consider the development of materials that clarify the commercial governance process and promote the commercial team to colleagues to encourage the teams proactive involvement rather than reactive involvement.
