Working in a team with our Heads of Infrastructure Funding Project Management, members of the Infrastructure Funding Project Management team will play a critical role in managing large and complex grant investments. You will be joining our experienced, multi-disciplinary team, who are committed to making positive change in supporting infrastructure delivery and unlocking hundreds of thousands of homes across England. Our Senior Managers look after some of the largest funding investments Homes England makes (up to £250m at a project level), with significant complexity, political interest and stakeholder management responsibilities. Therefore, we are looking for a mixture of technical skills, experience and a calm, professional approach to getting the job done.
This role is to manage the projects funded by Homes England's Infrastructure Grant funds under agreed
Assurance Frameworks and Grant Determination Agreements (GDAs).
The role will form a key part of the new Infrastructure Grants team, which is part of the wider Investments
Directorate. It will involve managing and monitoring infrastructure GDAs and working with key partners,
predominantly Local Authorities, other public bodies and their (private sector) partners. This will also
include working with dedicated Homes England staff based in offices around the country.
The role will support the design and delivery of key strategic projects around England. There are some ambitious projects to get involved with and this is an excellent opportunity to balance day to day delivery whilst bringing innovative solutions to the infrastructure funding offering.
Whilst our day job is to deliver first class customer service to our stakeholders, you will be used to "spinning several plates" at once and will always be looking for ways to improve and innovate.
You'll be comfortable supporting the Infrastructure Grants business with complex project delivery issues, aiming to ensure that projects are performing in line with expectations. You will be proficient in project management, assurance and monitoring in the built environment and hold a relevant professional qualification.
Delivering on a mission as bold as ours isn’t always easy. You will be resilient and comfortable managing stakeholders at a senior level and your discussions will always be shaped by a good understanding of the commercial and operational impact of what we do as a team. You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.
As an experienced project management professional you’ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
