Along Eastbourne and Pevensey Bay there is a coastal flood risk to 10,000 properties and a wide spectrum of infrastructure. The flood risk in Eastbourne is managed by a local authority, and at Pevensey Bay by the Environment Agency both through beach management contracts. These contracts are due to expire in 2025.
This coastal project will be working with partners to deliver a Major Project, at a cost of over £100m, for the whole frontage. The project has a wide scope and promotes innovation, focussing on carbon reduction, biodiversity net gain and wider socio-economic benefits.
This role will be responsible for the strategic direction of the project ensuring its full potential is realised; guaranteeing that whole-life asset management and ISO 55000 is considered throughout project development; and advising on the delivery routes and commercial implications.
Once the scheme has been approved, the role will then ensure the effective management and delivery of the scheme from 2025. This is likely to be for at least 5 years.
You will work with a diverse group of people including the project team and partners to steer the scope and programme, ensuring the project is delivered to time and specification.
