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.
What your day will look like
-Leading on providing thinking on people, political sensitivities and process on collaborative streetworks projects, including overseeing external consultants and internal team members.
-Achieving high-quality solutions to challenges encountered with the Streets service’s collaborative streetworks pipeline by working with partners to problem solve sensitively - challenges will include relationship management across utilities and Highway Authorities, meeting and reporting on funder and Mayoral objectives, process efficiencies improvement across pipeline management and data tools, and resource management across internal delivery staff and collaboration specialists at utilities.
-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.

The post is career graded. The advert invites applications from people who have significant planning experience at officer level and would like to further their career at a senior level to people who have significant experience and knowledge at a senior level who can work at a principal level.&nbsp;
Depending upon your starting level you will then be supported through a competency framework as your career progresses.
In recent years Burnley has seen significant economic and housing growth with sound planning at the heart of the Council’s vision to make Burnley the first choice for business investment and as a place to live. We are seeking a key individual who will work closely with the Planning Team Manager and Head of Service to promote and deliver our ambitious agenda. You will have a positive attitude that will bring a practical and supportive approach to development in the borough.
You will have a detailed knowledge of the planning process including experience of dealing with major and complex planning applications and planning appeals. It is essential you have excellent negotiation skills including the ability to resolve conflict.
For appointment at Principal Level, it is essential you have a degree in Town Planning, or equivalent, with relevant planning content.&nbsp; It is also essential you have experience of negotiating with developers on development proposals, including negotiating s106 agreements.
For both positions you will be a mentor to less experienced members of the team.
Burnley is a great place to work and if you are determined to progress your planning career then we can offer you a diverse and interesting challenge that will support your ambitions.&nbsp; We value our employees and offer a career-average pension scheme, annual leave entitlement and work/life balance initiatives.
