Cambridgeshire County Council

Eastern Highway Alliance Manager
£47,824 - £51,611
Cambridge Shire Hall

The Eastern Highway Alliance was formed in 2012 and now manages the collaboration of eleven Highway Authorities within the East of England. Through collaborative working the Alliance aims to deliver efficiencies and financial savings to all the member authorities.

We need a proactive, self-motivated and enthusiastic individual to lead, manage and develop a wide range of collaborative opportunities, including those coming from the Highways Maintenance Efficiency Programme (HMEP). You will manage our existing successful alliance framework contract, which has a total potential value of £750m over four years, and has engaged 6 delivery partners for schemes between £1m-£20m, and 7 contractors for schemes up to £1.5m.

Alongside management of the current contract you will lead and manage the development and procurement of successor arrangements. This will be a key piece of work that will commence in the Autumn. In partnership with Procurement and Legal you will work with the Board to define all elements of the framework, seeking buy in from all partner organisations. The ability to provide clear direction, manage risk and work collaboratively and in partnership will be essential in order to deliver the new framework.

You will have a relevant professional background and a strong track record in key areas of the role, including management of programmes, projects and budgets. You will also be an adept communicator, negotiator and leader of change. You will be able to build and maintain effective relationships with alliance members, contractors and suppliers, providing effective support to the Alliance Board and other groups reporting to it.

The role has a regional focus and will be hosted by Cambridgeshire County Council on behalf of the Alliance but will act independently to maintain its impartiality, reporting to the Highways and Transport Board and its Chairman.

For an informal discussion about the role please contact Richard Lumley on 01223 703839 or e-mail [email protected]

Closing Date - 22nd August 2018 - Midday
