**About the National Infrastructure Commission**

By joining the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), you’ll be playing a key role in delivering independent advice to government on the UK’s long-term infrastructure needs. We do this to help support sustainable economic growth across the whole of the UK, improve competitiveness and resilience to climate change, meet net zero obligations, and ultimately improve the quality of life of UK citizens.

We are a collaborative team working to support the Commissioners in offering forward-thinking recommendations based on a rigorous approach to evidence and consultation - and to monitor government’s progress in implementing those plans.

The Commission’s core responsibilities include:

- producing a National Infrastructure Assessment once every five years, setting out the Commission’s assessment of long-term infrastructure needs with recommendations to government on how to meet them;
- carrying out in-depth studies into the UK’s most pressing infrastructure challenges, making recommendations to government; and
- monitoring the government’s progress in delivering infrastructure projects and programmes recommended by the NIC.

The Commission is now working on a number of projects after publishing the second National Infrastructure Assessment. This role will be key in developing work in the Connectivity Team and across the secretariat as we continue to develop these as well as respond to any changing priorities after the election.

You will coordinate and project manage evidence based policy making and recommendations relating to transport infrastructure and associated cross-cutting issues. You will also evaluate and track progress by government and industry in implementing the Commission’s recommendations.

In developing and implementing a strategic approach to policy development, you will work closely with other policy and analytical colleagues to provide joined up, high-quality analysis and advice to the Commission. You will also establish strong working relationships beyond the the organisation within a range of government departments, academia and industry - and develop international links where appropriate. Through these and other learning and development activity you will continuously build-up expertise on infrastructure issues. The role also entails engaging with stakeholders at different levels of seniority to help build consensus and able to effectively represent the Commission to a variety of audiences.

**Job description**:
1.**Conduct research** that identifies, scopes and supports delivery of policy projects that are aligned to the Commission’s objectives and builds the Commission’s reputation.

2.**Analyse and summarise** numerical and potentially complex data that will support the Commission’s understanding work across various sectors, but especially transport.

3.**Provide rigorous assessment** of the large volumes of information on various policy topics and have an eye for what is important to the Commission and what is not.

4.**Project manage** the delivery of your own work and the work of others on the team and/or external consultants. This will include making use of project management tools such as milestone plans, risk registers and engagement plans.

5.**Build and manage relationships** with stakeholders so that the Commission keeps on top of the policy landscape, and use these relationships to shape and drive forward the Commission’s priorities.

6.**Communicate** clearly to a range of audiences including presenting your work to Commissioners and seeking opportunities to share the Commission’s work with external audiences at industry meetings and conferences.

**Produce high-quality written material** that succinctly summarises the detailed research conducted. Audiences for such material will include the senior management team, Commissioners and our external stakeholders

**Person specification**:
