Job description:

Would you like to join a critical programme for addressing climate change? In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legislate to have "net zero" carbon emissions by 2050, meaning we will no longer be a net emitter of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change

The Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) programme will deliver four carbon capture CCUS clusters, capturing 20-30 MtCO2 across the economy, including 6 MtCO2 of industrial emissions, per year by 2030.

The announcement of Track-1 clusters represented an important step in building our CCUS industry and decarbonising our economy.

As these first clusters are not the extent of our ambition, and ultimately, we expect more industrial clusters will be needed to meet Net Zero, successfully demonstrating CCUS at scale is an essential first step, building industry and investor confidence and catalysing the project pipeline.

HMG is committed to further development of CCUS, and we expect forthcoming Track-2 processes to bring forward capture and store more CO2 to contribute to our Carbon Budget 6 target achievement.

We believe that a friendly workplace nurtures success, so expect a sociable and positive team. Our varied team consists of professional programme managers, Subject Matter Experts and policy specialists. We encourage everyone to ask questions, put forward their ideas, and to be generous when sharing their knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Deputy Director for Programme Delivery, you will provide visible and effective leadership, leading a team and working with the senior official across Government to set up and lead the CCUS tranche 2 Programme Management Office (PMO) team.

You will also support the Head of the Central PMO in setting up the programme governance.

Tranche 2 is a multi-billion-pound sub-programme to deliver the expansion of our Track 1 clusters, East Coast Cluster and Hynet, and the Track 2 clusters, Acorn and Viking.

You will be responsible for developing a clear vision for your teams, championing the use of best practice project delivery standards, tools and processes.

You will work within an established Programme wide PMO, adapting and improving existing processes and procedures to benefit the programme.

You will build motivated and capable teams and foster an inclusive culture of innovation. You will work across multiple Directorate
