Sponsor - 12 Month Fixed Term Contract

2 weeks ago

Bristol, United Kingdom National Highways Full time

**Your new role**

National Highways are excited to be looking for a Sponsor to join the team on a **12 month fixed term contract **. You will initially be accountable for the identification and management of Benefits and Business case for the brand new, high profile, A303 Stonehenge scheme (Amesbury to Berwick Down).

The focus of this role is ensuring appropriate governance and coordination is in place for the scheme under the post holder’s control. Providing leadership, internal challenge and support to the project delivery function.

You will also be involved in initiating and overseeing the delivery of a small project portfolio/sub-programme or singular large scale projects. In your role as a Sponsor you will be supporting the Regional Sponsor in achieving the outcomes of large scale regional and national investment, by ensuring alignment with National Highways strategic priorities.

This role will be based out of our Bristol office but will be a hybrid mix of home and office working as well as needing to be on site across the scheme regularly throughout the construction of the project.

**What you’ll be leading on**
- Own the Project Brief and business case, and update these where appropriate. Ensure that solutions are delivered to meet the objectives and outcomes of the Roads Investment Strategy. Monitor the scheme benefits realisation plan and ensure that the benefits are realised.
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders inside and outside of Highways England, building trust, gaining commitment to the programme and individual project objectives and benefits and clarifying and resolving issues and concerns. Be accountable for managing stakeholders associated with the project. Champion the customer throughout the development and delivery of projects.
- Ensure that investment proposals fit with the longer-term asset strategy to deliver the business case and planned benefits. Ensure that there is adequate funding for the project throughout all stages of the lifecycle and that the impact of any change on the benefits is fully understood so the business case remains viable.
- Be accountable for the key decision making needed throughout the project lifecycle in order to ensure that desired outcomes are delivered through the appropriate governance forums. Ensure that the governance and assurance requirements of National Highways, the Department for Transport and, where appropriate, HM Treasury and Cabinet Office are met in a timely manner.
- Act as an escalation point for risks, issues and changes, providing clear direction to the project management team throughout the project lifecycle. Identify and manage strategic risks within the project and work with the project delivery teams to manage and mitigate them.
- Formally hand over the project into operation, closing each project and ensuring a long-term benefits realisation plan is in place having conducted post implementation reviews and documented lessons learned. Transfer responsibility for post-project benefits reviews to the Programme Committee.

**To be successful you’ll need**
- A professional accreditation, qualification and/or membership of a relevant body, such as Association for Project Management (APM); Institute of Value Management, or appropriate professional body for their specialist field.
- Ability to evaluate situations and present pertinent information in an appropriate manner to support decision making within different levels of a governance framework.
- A good understanding of Benefits Management and business cases for the successful delivery of major and/or complex projects, and managing diverse teams, in a complex customer facing organisation, using a recognised Programme and Project framework.
- Experience of build successful engagement with internal and external clients and stakeholders, and development of collaborative relationships with delivery partners. Ability to work across the Programme and other directorates.
- Ability to drive best practice forward to effective implementation, dealing constructively with setbacks.

**A bit about us**

The Complex Infrastructure Programme (CIP) is responsible for some of the largest and complex ‘Tier 1’ projects of national significance. Our projects are in the Government Major Projects Portfolio due to their level of investment, complexity of stakeholder and political landscape and importance as elements of national infrastructure that will drive economic growth. CIP also oversees and manages the RIS3 Pipeline of projects through the options phase and ensures Ministers and other decision makers have sufficient information about the schemes to regulate which should be progressed to delivery.
