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
Are you looking to join a team that’s all about improving 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&nbsp;
A key focus of the ICS is deploying the dig-once approach to streetworks—where utilities, telecoms, boroughs and others reduce disruption across London by digging up the road, together. This is a major shift as we transition to making this way of working ‘Business As Usual,’ thereby improving air quality and well-being for Londoners.
Your focus will be on managing a portfolio of collaborative streetworks projects, making use of strong project management, organisational and communication skills to take collaborative streetworks projects from ‘start to finish’, and reporting on them to management, funders and stakeholders within industry. This is a critical delivery role within a fast-moving team, with high levels of external engagement, especially with utilities, contractors and highway authorities. The right candidate will be able to manage an evolving pipeline of projects, by laying out a plan, proactively engaging stakeholders, and overcoming delivery roadblocks with problem solving and sensitive, persuasive communication. Project reporting to internal and external stakeholders, ie communications, governance and record keeping are also critical components in the day-to-day delivery of the Streets programme.
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.
We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds. The key in your application is to demonstrate how your experience and skills are relevant and/or transferrable to the position.

-Leading programme reporting to capture and develop best practice, communicating successes and new concepts to industry, recording case studies, and promoting the team’s work to influence industry beyond the timeframe of the current funding.
-Providing expert insight to the team into utilities’ business processes, constraints, and related topics.
-Championing innovation, setting an industry standard in terms of collaborative working within the Streets team, within the GLA, and with both utilities and Highway Authorities.

<h2>Good Growth</h2>
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.
<h2>About the team</h2>
Would you like to transform London to make it greener, healthier, nature-rich and ready to tackle the climate and ecological emergencies? The Green Infrastructure and Climate Adaptation teams work closely together to deliver the Mayor’s ‘<a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/md3384-delivery-plan-delivering-greener-more-climate-resilient-london" target="_blank">Delivering a Greener and More Climate-Resilient London</a>’ mandate and delivery plan. The teams deliver against seven main projects/workstreams to enable Londoners to enjoy green and wild spaces across the capital, and for London to be resilient to extreme weather and the impacts of climate change.
We’re looking for a Project Support Officer to help support City Hall’s Green Infrastructure Team to deliver the key programmes set out in this delivery plan.
This is a unique opportunity to help achieve the Mayor’s ambition to make London a leader in green infrastructure and urban rewilding, ensure that London remains more than half green and to ensure more Londoners benefit from having green space near where they live.
<h2>About the role</h2>
Reporting to the Principal Programme Delivery Officer, you will support a varied portfolio of implementation and delivery programmes to enhance and add to London’s network of green infrastructure.
The Green Infrastructure Team’s portfolio includes work on Nature/Biodiversity/Rewilding, Trees &amp; Woodlands and Green Spaces &amp; Urban Greening, plus cross-cutting issues, such as data &amp; evidence, strategy &amp; planning, green finance and more. You will support cross-cutting programme management, as well as support individual projects and programmes across the team. Tasks will vary, but will include supporting the running of governance processes, supporting communications and engagement, providing administrative and business support for the Head of Green Infrastructure and across the team, coordinating the team’s input into corporate and Mayoral procedures, maintaining oversight for deadlines and information requests and ensure the team responds in a timely fashion and supporting procurement and contract management.
To succeed in the role, you’ll need to be collaborative, flexible and willing to learn across a wide portfolio. You’ll need to have strong abilities in project or programme support and coordination. While policy or technical expertise in a green infrastructure topic area would be helpful, it is not necessary for someone who can learn quickly. You must be comfortable in working across the team with different working styles, translating senior leader requests into action, coordinating and influencing people more senior to you to complete tasks in a timely manner, and dealing with iterative change.
What your day will look like
<ul>

The Mayor of London is seeking independent built environment experts to join the Mayor’s Design Advocates (MDAs) cohort.

This programme is calling upon the architecture, design, planning, built environment and sustainability sectors to support Good Growth in London.
London's diversity is its biggest asset and the Mayor strives to reflect London's diversity in all board appointments.

Eligibility:
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You must be eligible to have the right to work in the UK.

Term of Appointment:
Up to four years (subject to review), starting Autumn 2025, with a comprehensive induction provided.
Selection Criteria:
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in the built environment with skills of promoting high quality and sustainable design.
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strong advocacy for equality, diversity and inclusion.
