This role will see you lead an aspirational and motivated team, helping develop our organisation’s strategic ambitions. An inspiring mentor for up to 10 project-focused team members, you’ll build and enhance a great working environment and be a key figure within your local leadership group. You'll use your considerable talent to personally lead high performance project teams, demonstrating excellent behaviours, collaborative working and continually building a strong network of working relationships both inside and outside the organisation. You will also have demonstrated strong commercial acumen in contract management and developing effective and trusting supply partner relationships.

We’ll expect you to enhance the entire project delivery process, from initial strategic planning phase all the way into implementation, construction and delivery; with project executive experience being advantageous. Communication and leadership are crucial, building strong collaborative relationships across the Environment Agency, our supply partners and with our local communities

Experience/Skills Required:

You will be a passionate leader, with the ability to build a great working environment to bring the best out of collaborative and high performing teams, including our supply partners, spread across different locations. Ideally, but not exclusively, you will have experience working on civil engineering projects; with a skill for tackling tough challenges, and embedding excellence and knowledge sharing. This experience and expertise will assure our project outcomes are achieved and long lasting relationships maintained. Project Executive experience would be advantageous.

Ideally, you’ll have relevant line management experience and five years project management experience. Being qualified as a PRINCE2 or APM Practitioner would be an advantage but you don’t necessarily have to bring contract or construction experience. It’s the way you inspire people and innovate to deliver complex, high-risk projects and programmes that will set you apart – along with big-picture thinking that improves our operations daily.
