3 weeks ago

City of Westminster, Greater London, United Kingdom ENGINEERINGUK Full time
About Us:

ENGINEERINGUK is a world of extraordinary stories. We are an absolute force of nature at the heart of our regeneration efforts. Regeneration isn't just about bricks and concrete. It's about communities.

The Role:

As a Strategic Place Shaping Leader, you can make your own powerful contribution as you work collaboratively with members, residents, services, partners and stakeholders to drive positive place-based change to deliver maximum benefits for our communities. Leading a service dedicated to creating and delivering high quality places throughout the city, you'll adopt a strategic place-based approach to develop and deliver positive outcomes for residents, businesses and visitors to the city, maximising the potential of public assets in areas facing growth, challenge or change.

Putting engagement at the heart of Place Shaping programmes, you will maximise opportunities for residents to shape the creation of vibrant and inclusive spaces in their neighbourhoods, and foster relationships with community groups and stakeholder organisations.

Integrating public art and culture into the public realm will be at the heart of what you do, championing the link between culture and place to animate spaces, improve access and participation, celebrate the heritage of our communities and attract investment.

Providing strategic leadership for the creation of management plans across delivered projects, you'll collaborate with colleagues and partners to ensure effective management, maintenance and animation plans are in place to protect up-front investment and ensure intended outcomes are secured.

You'll have a wide range of additional responsibilities - these include empowering your own team to build upon global best practice, and fostering an innovative and creative approach to your work. We'll also expect you to represent the Council's position on the built environment and place, and ensure clear plans, governance, budget and performance management are in place for the effective development and delivery of services, programmes and projects.

About You:

We're looking for someone with a degree in Architecture, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning or a similar discipline, or relevant knowledge and experience. You'll have worked in a complex organisation and will have led and delivered significant place-based programmes of change. Capable of developing and delivering projects in the built environment and leading the development and execution of multi-disciplinary programmes and projects, you'll have the skills to establish and build productive working relationships with a wide range of senior colleagues and stakeholders.

We'll expect you to have a track record of managing large budgets, business planning, quality and performance management, and an understanding of the role of local government in advancing place-based programmes of change. An innovative thinker with experience of delivering cross-cutting outcomes through high quality and creative place-based programmes of change, you'll also have the ability to manage political and cultural issues to ultimately deliver successful projects and programmes.

Capable of translating strategic objectives into operational plans and using your interpersonal skills to inspire, motivate, coach and develop team members to high levels of performance, you'll be a motivating and inspirational communicator. You should also possess a strong commitment to equality and diversity, both as a leader and a deliverer of high quality services.

As a forward-thinking organisation, we appreciate that people work in different ways, therefore our staff benefit from working a range of flexible working patterns as well as Agile working.

We are a Disability Confident Employer. If you have declared a disability in your application, we guarantee an interview if you meet the essential criteria of the job.
