Job purpose

Cambridge has become a major incubator of successful tech start-ups contributing significantly to the UK economy.

This pivotal role is responsible for the development and delivery of a programme of de-risking and infrastructure works. Leading the delivery of integrated engineering solutions to support an infrastructure led approach that enables the acceleration of economic and housing growth across Greater Cambridge.

Reporting regularly on financial and delivery performance to the Technical Director, appropriate Committees and Board as required.

This role is responsible for providing leadership and senior management to ensure successful delivery of a programme of de-risking, enabling and infrastructure works contracts and technical support.

Lead on providing in‐depth understanding of technical, geotechnical, utilities requirements, engineering and infrastructure issues, affecting the development potential and viability of residential/mixed use sites; lead on assessing the developability and viability of land from a technical perspective, ensuring due diligence/abnormal issues are comprehensively understood. The role will also lead on utilities planning and connection including water and electricity supply.

Lead and manage a team of technical experts to scope, commission and manage external advisors and Capital Works contracts to support the delivery of economic growth and new housing. This will include managing the design and construction of highways and structures, utility services, drainage and integrated water management features and landscaping, demolition, site clearance, land remediation and other de-risking activities, as part of programme to support an infrastructure led approach to site delivery.

Lead on procurement of external advisors and contractors.
