What will you be doing?

As the Senior Programme Officer for the GCP, you will lead on Transport Programme level workstreams such as the GCPs work on Accessibility, Biodiversity Net Gain or Carbon Management.

This will require excellent communication skills as you work with major stakeholders such as Network Rail, National Highways and Natural England.

You will be overseeing monthly financial and delivery reporting processes across the GCP programme to ensure the smooth running of the GCP and the delivery of its ambitious £500m+ programme.

You will ensure that major projects are on track and escalate issues to senior members of the team where required.

About you

You will have the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and want the challenge that the considerable financial and strategic value of the programme to be delivered will bring.

You will need to be a go-getter that doesn't let the details slip, organised and someone that thrives on interaction to get the work done.

Interviews will be taking place on Thursday 31st August 2023 and will be in-person at Mandela House, Regent Street, Cambridge CB1 0YR
