    Description

    About the role

    The Infrastructure Coordination Service (ICS) is hiring a Senior Project Officer to drive the delivery of flagship streetworks collaboration projects and the Dig-Once Approach — helping to realise the Mayor's priorities for infrastructure and decarbonisation in the capital.

    The ICS is an award-winning team that works to improve how utilities and other infrastructure is planned and delivered in our city. We are interdisciplinary, fast moving, industry-leading and focused on innovation and creating real change.

    Our work is nested in collaboration and coordination with the sector, with boroughs, developers, utilities, telecoms, and other infrastructure providers. The ICS brings significant benefits to Londoners as well as industry, by improving air quality, supporting 'healthy streets', enabling decarbonisation and unlocking affordable housing delivery.

    Senior Project Officer - Streets:

    The Senior Project Officer will work closely with partners across industry to promote the 'dig-once' approach to streetworks and collaborative working within the infrastructure sector. This is a fast-paced delivery role, heavily focused on project management with high levels of external engagement.

    Our work is geared towards reducing road network disruption and making London's infrastructure delivery more efficient. You will support works promoters – utilities and contractors from across the water, gas, power and telecom sectors – to scale up pilots so that collaboration becomes "business as usual."

    The successful candidate will feel comfortable working in a streetworks context (prior streetworks or utilities experience is not required, but desired), managing multiple parallel projects whilst supporting partners to work towards our common goals. Projects may include: mains rehabilitation programmes, road resurfacing and public realm schemes, cycling schemes, Healthy Streets interventions, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), tree planting programmes, developments and regeneration projects, as well as heat networks, among others.

    Role description:

    This role requires diverse skillsets and exposes the officer to high-profile work.

    You will be focused on:

  • Driving collaborative streetwork projects from concept to delivery, using strong project management skills;
  • Pipeline management and working towards specific delivery targets;
  • Undertaking stakeholder engagement with key partners from across industry, including utility companies, contractors and network management teams within Highway Authorities (Boroughs and Transport for London);
  • Promoting positive behaviour change and supporting infrastructure providers to embed collaboration as "business as usual";
  • Developing a range of case studies, guides, tools and other materials;
  • Partnering with cross-cutting working groups such as Collaboration Specialists and external consultants;
  • Working with colleagues across the Infrastructure team to support delivery of their programmes;
  • Supporting engagement with senior-level stakeholders across the utilities sector and London.

    • The role requires strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills, as well as an ability to communicate effectively in a variety of forms with a diverse range of people.

    We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds — we welcome people with project management experience from any sector with the relevant skills. You may have also have studied or have work experience in areas such as infrastructure planning, transportation and sustainability, or other related areas.

    London's diversity is its biggest asset and we strive to ensure our workforce reflects London's diversity at all levels. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.

    We are committed to being an inclusive employer and we are happy to consider flexible working arrangements.
