Transform Greater Manchester’s Fire Estate

This is a unique opportunity to lead a high-profile transformation programme that will reshape the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) estate.

As Strategic Transformation Lead Capital Programmes, you will take overall responsibility for delivering a major capital investment programme spanning new build fire stations, refurbishment schemes and decarbonisation initiatives. This role sits at the centre of GMCA’s ambitions to modernise infrastructure, improve operational capability and deliver long-term sustainability outcomes.

You will combine strategic leadership with hands-on programme deliveryensuring projects of varying scale and complexity are aligned, governed effectively and delivered to time, cost and quality expectations.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a traditional programme role. You will:

Lead a complex, multi-million-pound capital programme across a live operational blue light emergency service estate
Hold portfolio-level accountability for both minor works programmes and major capital schemes
Shape and embed governance, assurance and delivery standards across the programme
Drive both strategic planning and hands-on delivery, from early design through to construction
Operate at the intersections of strategy, construction, operations and public service delivery

Your work will have a direct and visible impact on frontline services and the communities they support.

Your Role: Strategic Leadership and Programme Delivery

You will provide clear leadership across the entire capital programme, ensuring all projects contribute to a coherent, prioritised and deliverable investment plan.

Lead a Major Capital Transformation Programme

Take overall accountability for the GMFRS estate transformation programme, including new builds, refurbishments and lifecycle works
Develop and maintain a structured and prioritised capital programme, spanning:

Sub-£1m schemes (planned works, lifecycle and compliance activity)
£1m+ schemes (new builds and major refurbishments via RIBA stages)
Translate strategic objectives into phased, deliverable investment plans

Governance, Assurance and Performance

Define and lead the capital programme governance framework
Oversee cost, risk, schedule and benefits realisation at portfolio level
Ensure robust decision-making through gateway controls and audit trails
Provide clear and consistent reporting to senior leaders and governance boards

Deliver Complex Capital Projects

Lead delivery of projects from RIBA Stage 1 through to construction and completion
Oversee procurement and performance of design teams, contractors and consultants
Ensure delivery meets time, cost and quality expectations, alongside statutory and regulatory requirements
Drive development of a standardised design template for future fire stations

Financial and Commercial Leadership

Hold accountability for capital budgets, expenditure and forecasting
Shape procurement strategies aligned to risk, value and market conditions
Ensure value for money and strong commercial outcomes across all schemes

Lead People and Resources

Lead and manage a multi-disciplinary capital delivery team, including:
- Senior Project Managers
- Project Managers
- Quantity Surveyors
- Clerk of Works
Align team capacity and capability with programme demand
Act as the senior escalation point for delivery risks and performance issues

Work Across a Complex Stakeholder Environment

Collaborate closely with GMFRS, GMCA teams, operational users and external partners
Build strong relationships with senior leaders, consultants, contractors and stakeholders
Influence decisions, align priorities and ensure commitment to delivery outcomes

What You Bring

We are looking for an experienced programme leader with the ability to operate at scale in a complex, multi-stakeholder built environment.

Experience and Expertise

Significant experience leading capital programmes or portfolios across mixed-value schemes
Strong knowledge of capital governance, investment appraisal and risk management
Experience delivering both high-volume minor works and major capital projects
In-depth understanding of RIBA Plan of Work, procurement and construction delivery
Proven ability to manage multi-site construction programmes, ideally in public sector or emergency services environments

Leadership and Delivery

Strong track record of delivering complex programmes to measurable outcomes
Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams and external consultants
Ability to manage risk, dependencies, budgets and competing priorities

Commercial and Financial Capability

Excellent financial planning and budget management skills
Experience with contracts, procurement and supply chain management
Strong commercial awareness and ability to drive value

Skills and Behaviours

Highly effective communicator with the ability to influence at senior levels
Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex information and drive decisions
Capable of building trusted relationships across organisations
Resilient, adaptable and comfortable operating in complex, fast-paced environments
Committed to public service, collaboration and continuous improvement

The Impact You’ll Have

This role is more than programme delivery role; it is an opportunity to build the foundations of a safer, stronger Greater Manchester. You will help build infrastructure that enables us to serve every community in Greater Manchester with confidence and professionalism. You will make a difference not only to the organisation but to the wider region it supports.

In this role, you will:

Deliver a modern, efficient and sustainable fire and rescue estate
Enable improved operational response and frontline service delivery
Ensure capital investment delivers measurable operational, financial and environmental benefits
Embed a consistent, high-performing approach to capital programme delivery across GMCA

This is a role where your work will directly influence public safety, service resilience and long-term regional outcomes.

Why Join GMCA and what sets us apart?

There has never been a more important moment for public estate transformation. We are building for the future. The organisation is undergoing significant positive change and this role will be integral to shaping new standards of performance, capability and delivery.

You will play a key role in delivering a transformed fire and rescue estate that strengthens operational capability, improves service resilience and ensures assets are fit for the future. Through the successful delivery of capital investment programmes, your leadership will directly enable frontline response, modernise infrastructure and support Greater Manchester’s wider priorities around sustainability, growth and public service reform.

You will join a team that is:

Delivering complex capital programmes that modernise critical emergency service infrastructure
Driving net zero and decarbonisation through the design and construction of new and refurbished assets
Working in partnership with operational services, technical specialists and delivery partners to achieve shared outcomes
Focused on disciplined programme delivery, strong governance and measurable impact
