Operational Programme Manager, Southern Water Home Visits Programme

£43,504 - £51,711 per annum 

Brighton.

Your significant experience of programme management and of delivery across a wide geographical area will come to the fore when you join Groundwork as Operational Programme Manager.

We’ll look to you to lead and manage the delivery of the Southern Water Home Visits Programme within budget, and to the standards and timescales laid down in the contract. Equally importantly, you will need to build effective relationships with the client, internal colleagues, contractors and partners ensuring the co-ordinated activity of the programme.

With a £multi-million budget, you’ll have responsibility for all operational activities relating to the management of the Home Visits Programme, from defining deliverables to delivering the work plan itself against changing needs and requirements. You’ll also manage subcontractors and ensure the performance required as agreed with the client.  Customer care is critical, so you’ll need to measure customer satisfaction, review trends and develop innovative approaches to deliver continuous improvements.

Your remit covers a wide geographical area, and it’s essential that you have a good background in initiating and operating multi-year programmes of work, managing complex operational programmes and geographically-spread teams, and working at senior levels both internally and externally. You will have developed and implemented systems and processes, commissioned and managed sub contractors and driven value in a tough economic environment.
