About this opportunity

The Capital Programme team is responsible for the core delivery of the Council’s c.£60m/year Capital Programme developing projects which make a real ‘on the ground’ difference to our communities, places and people in Westmorland and Furness. On a daily basis the programme develops and maintains new council buildings including care homes, schools, community centres and offices; constructs and maintains highways and cycleways; builds new flood defences and drives the council’s decarbonisation programme for its services.

The Programme Control Officer role will mainly be focussed on providing project management of small to medium scale projects and supporting Project Leads and Programme Managers in the management of large, complex or high value projects or programmes. The successful candidate will be focused on projects and programmes within the Capital Programmes Highways and Flood Portfolio to include:

  • The A595 Grizebeck Improvement Scheme
  • The Local Lead Flood Authority Programme
  • The Safer Roads Programme
  • The Infrastructure Recovery Programme

We are looking for candidates who have experience of project managing small to medium scale projects and administering programme and project documentation. Candidates should also have some experience of engaging and working with internal and external stakeholders, managing external consultants and administering project communications.

We hope you are someone who enjoys working as part of a flexible team to deliver high standards of service support and are able to communicate effectively with internal teams and external suppliers to aid project delivery.

You can expect to work in a high performing team with likeminded individuals. You can also expect accountability and responsibility to help the whole team deliver multi-million pound projects for Westmorland and Furness Council.
