Closing date 18/11/2025

Interviews w/c 24/11/2025

A bit about the role

Working in a team with Kate Wilson and Victoria Gazzi, our Heads of Infrastructure Grants Project Management, the Project Manager of Infrastructure Grants will play a critical role in managing large and complex grant investments. You will be joining our experienced, multi-disciplinary team, who are committed to making positive change in supporting infrastructure delivery and unlocking hundreds of thousands of homes across England.

Kate and Victoria believe in delivering first-class customer service, resolving project delivery issues informally wherever possible by taking an innovative and creative approach. The team highly values and encourages working in a collaborative and flexible way to foster good decision making and problem solving.

The Project Manager of Infrastructure Grants will support the design and delivery of key strategic housing projects around England. There are some ambitious initiatives to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery with bringing innovative solutions to the infrastructure funding offering.

This is a rare chance to shape the future of infrastructure and housing delivery in a national organisation with real social purpose. Working with key stakeholders and a professional team you will ensure efficient, consistent and effective resolution of complex contractual and delivery issues and have the opportunity to help create new communities and places within the country.

A bit about you…

Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.

You'll be comfortable supporting the Infrastructure Grants business with complex project delivery issues, aiming to ensure that projects are performing in line with expectations. You will be proficient in project management, assurance and monitoring in the built environment, with experience in capital projects and programmes in the housing and/or infrastructure sectors (e.g. transport, utilities, public buildings, land assembly, site remediation, communications and green/blue infrastructure). Ideally you will either have obtained or be working towards a relevant professional qualification.

Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn't always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

As an experienced project management professional you'll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.

What we offer...

In addition to a competitive salary, we offer 33 days annual leave and are totally committed to flexible working. Our career average pension scheme comes with a generous employer contribution, and we'll pay for your membership of a relevant professional body. Our colleagues also have access to exclusive discounts and offers with leading high street names.

If you do ever need extra help we have an employee assistance programme and financial well-being support. Our range of network groups are also there to support you to truly be yourself at work and play a key role in helping shape our future.

Who are we?

We are the Government's national housing agency. Our role is to accelerate the pace of house-building across the country, particularly in areas where there are the most serious affordability issues – meaning people are struggling to find homes.

We encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early should we receive a high number of applications. We also encourage you to apply using the full application option as opposed to quick apply. This is especially important if you would like to indicate to us that you would like to be considered under the disability confident scheme.

If your application is shortlisted for interview we will require you to provide proof of your right to work in the UK at that stage.

Homes England is a geographically diverse community. We are hybrid working, spending some of our time working from home and some based at our offices which are spread across England. The wellbeing of our colleagues remains one of our top priorities.
