  • Oversee a package of trials to determine the most suitable technology for the project.
  • Ensure trials are conducted efficiently, meet all necessary standards, and are completed within the allocated budget.
  • Lead and support a team of project personnel dedicated to the trials, without acting as their direct Line Manager.
  • Utilise CEMAR to manage contracts
  • Understand the project's context within the PPP pipeline portfolio and manage contractual relationships accordingly.
  • Oversee the financial performance of pre-construction activities and technology trials, managing a budget of approximately £6M.
  • Ensure effective use of financial resources and adherence to the allocated budget.
  • Manage the overall programme to ensure all pre-construction and trial outcomes are delivered on time and do not delay project commencement.
  • Provide timely updates on project and trial performance to senior internal and external stakeholders.
  • Engage with key stakeholders to ensure constructability considerations are integrated into planning and design phases.
  • Ensure clear accountability for performance and outcomes across all pre-construction activities and trial management.

Essentials:

  • Proven experience in pre-construction planning and strategy development for major projects.
  • Strong background in managing construction projects, including oversight of enabling works and constructability reviews.
  • Proficiency in using CEMAR or similar contract administration tools.
  • Excellent financial management skills with experience handling significant budgets.
  • Strong organizational and programme management skills.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with senior stakeholders.
  • Relevant industry-standard qualifications and experience.


Desirables:

• Experience managing experimental work or trials, preferably within a similar industry.

• Experience working in a design consultancy with a focus on soft consultancy rather than hard-nosed delivery.

• Experience working in a dual role that requires balancing multiple responsibilities effectively.


Key Behavioural Requirements:

  • Strategic thinker with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Ability to manage both high-level planning and detailed execution tasks.
  • Comfortable working part-time while effectively managing a high-stakes, multi-faceted project.
