The Environment Agency is advertising two exciting opportunities working primarily across the North of England and across the Midlands and South West.
As a Programme Director in Major Projects and Programme Delivery, you will be leading part of our £1bn programme of work and uniquely placed to build a legacy that will have a tangible impact on communities and the environment for decades to come. You will lead with a range of portfolios that help us create an inclusive and respectful organisation for everyone.
These critical roles are responsible for a range of infrastructure programmes and projects that are being delivered in a way that also creates environmental, economic and social benefit.
As an inspirational person, you will work with leaders of public and private partner organisations and communities and look to align opportunities that help protect communities; contribute to our net zero carbon challenge; create biodiversity and social value; whilst driving value for money and performance.
Our ambition is to create a nation resilient to climate change, with healthy air, land and water. A nation that enables green growth and has a sustainable future.
We would be delighted if you would come and join us on this transformational journey.
You’ll be responsible for a great team of people who have a passion for creating sustainable and resilient places. They are highly motivated and influence the work of hundreds of staff and partners. You will report to the Director of Operations Major Project and Programmes, and form part of an inclusive team who will provide the vision, direction and leadership to enable development and delivery of Major Projects and Programmes across the Environment Agency.
To be successful in this exciting role, you’ll be a passionate leader that inspires confidence in yourself, your teams, partners and the people around you. It is essential that you build a team and performance culture that reinforces one business working and has collaboration at its heart.
You must be passionate about developing others, be innovative in your thinking and be a team player. You’ll also possess strong organisational skills - all essential to delivering a demanding portfolio of work.
You’ll be rewarded with a high level of trust in guiding the Agency successfully through some of the biggest challenges – and opportunities – facing the environment, economy and society.
