Development Consent Order (DCO) Project Manager
Excellent opportunity to join a multi-disciplined Utility consultancy, working on some of the largest projects across the UK in the Water, Power, Gas, and Telecoms sectors.
Location: Reading
Hybrid: 3 days in the office / 2 days at home.
Salary: £70,000 - £80,000 basic
The Opportunity:
The Resolute Group is working in partnership to support this excellent opportunity to join an established and growing UK consultancy. Their core skill set is in the Utilities sector, working with clients and Tier 1 contractors, and supporting other consultancies on both frameworks and project-specific programmes.
The Role:
With a growing portfolio, we need a Development Consent Order (DCO) Project Manager to support the programme manager in creating and developing DCOs. You will develop, manage, and lead the team in developing the DCO process, working at the strategic/concept stage to ensure the DCO is ready for approval. Using your technical ability in planning, consenting, and project management, you will deliver a high-quality assessment service to secure the required consents for the projects.
Job Purpose:
The role will vary; although you will take the lead on the DCO consent process, you will also expand your knowledge into other areas of the programme, becoming invested in the programme through to the delivery stage.
Day-to-day activities will also vary depending on where the process is at, but could include:
1. Leading and managing the relevant consenting process and working with other team disciplines such as legal, land, engineering, and stakeholder management to secure consent and maintain compliance.
2. Providing technical consents, strategy guidance, and support, reporting directly to the Programme Manager regarding the DCO process.
3. Clarifying and relaying all consents risks to the project programme, together with proposed mitigations, to the Programme Manager.
4. Working with external partners to develop, lead, and manage key interfaces involved in the DCO process.
This role is a hybrid position, working 2-3 days in the office and 2-3 days from home or as required by the project team. There will be times when the DCO process is at a critical stage and needs additional support, but there will be times when you are chasing information and not as much input is required.
Qualifications:
1. Minimum - Degree in a related subject.
2. Flexible working to be in the office a minimum of 2 days a week.
To Apply:
You must be living and authorized to work in the UK to apply for this position.
