Good Growth
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
About the team&nbsp;
Are you looking to join a team that’s all about improving utility infrastructure delivery, partnering with industry and local authorities to push for smarter ways of upgrading London’s infrastructure for the benefit of Londoners? Are you passionate about driving change through delivery of innovative projects and best practice? If so, the Mayor’s Infrastructure Coordination Service (ICS) wants to hear from you.
The ICS is an innovative, award-winning, multi-disciplinary team partnering with the infrastructure sector across a range of projects. The team you will join is high performing, benefiting from strong working relationships across industry and the wider sector through the Mayor’s London Infrastructure Group. Key outputs of the team in recent years have included leading on the pioneering London Infrastructure Mapping Application, regulatory reform, and local area energy/water planning.&nbsp;
About the role
The ICS Development service line works to improve connections between development and London’s utility infrastructure networks. A key priority of the development service is to accelerate affordable housing delivery across London by addressing the strategic infrastructure challenges that can stall development. Building strong relationships with developers and utilities is a critical part of the development service’s role in unlocking strategic sites, identifying new areas of work, and supporting regulatory change.
Your focus will be on progressing strategic solutions to accelerate utility connections for development, and support the delivery of utility infrastructure in high-growth areas. You will work with teams across the GLA’s to support better alignment and delivery of development and utility infrastructure. This will also involve working closely with developers, utilities, London boroughs, Transport for London, regulators and business community representatives to understand their technical challenges and thinking creatively to resolve them.
The right candidate will be able to engage with technically complex issues, articulating concepts and solutions to a wide range of audiences. You will feel confident in taking responsibility for a set of projects and their outcomes. Although a technical background is not expected, an ideal candidate would have a degree or work experience related to infrastructure. The role would benefit from someone who proactively looks for opportunities to champion sustainability and better ways of working.
