I am recruiting a Project Director Infrastructure Policy for an organisation in London.
You will:
- Develop and lead on priorities on non-transport infrastructure, for example water, energy and waste, digital connectivity, in the context of relevant national and Mayoral infrastructure strategies and plans;
- Lead working group on infrastructure funding and financing;

- Lead our work on regulated utilities which includes running occasional meetings with the GLA’s coordination service and supporting our regulated utility members with their price reviews;
- Work in conjunction with other policy team colleagues on cross-cutting policy issues relating to transport infrastructure, for example our emerging workstreams on London becoming a world-leader on electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
You will have:
- Experience in working with public policy issues, ideally in the infrastructure sector. Some wider knowledge of associated policy areas such as utilities, regulatory policy or funding and finance would be an advantage;
- Influencing and relationship management;
