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.

About the role
The ICS Development service line works to improve connections between development and London’s utility infrastructure networks.

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.

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.

-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.
-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.

Experience of or knowledge of one or more of the following; -Engineering (preference for civil) -Project and programme management -Governance and reporting -Utilities and Capital delivery -Urban design -Healthy streets

·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Strong advocacy for equality, diversity and inclusion.
