• Sketch up and prepare outline design layouts for each EV charging hub/location. Coordinate with landlords and other internal and external stakeholders to agree on the layouts and accommodate site and electricity supply constraints and business case requirements.

• Write the project brief for each project and prepare written project briefs for landlords, clients, and consultants.
• Prepare, manage, and own the project cost plan and development budget from concept to tender recommendation and contract award.
• Prepare scopes of service and appoint 3rd party consultants (architectural, electrical, planning, etc.).
• Manage DNOs, ICPs, and 3rd party consultants to obtain the most commercially advantageous grid connection for a particular site.
• Manage the planning and 3rd party consents process using 3rd party consultants who will prepare the application.
• Agree on the procurement strategy for each hub (D&B, package procurement, framework, etc.).
• Prepare tender documents, including coordinating internal and external parties and drafting document sections where necessary (covering: the ITT wording, specification, scope of works, and pricing document). Manage the tender process and tender returns.
• Upon receipt of the tender returns, undertake the technical and commercial review, identify gaps in proposals, value engineering opportunities, and prepare the tender review and recommendation paper.
• Formulate the contract documents to encompass the works ready for execution.
• Liaise with internal and external parties and provide technical and commercial support in the negotiation and preparation of the project HOTs and lease terms.
• Act as the Principal Designer until the appointment of a 3rd party.
• Handover projects to the project delivery teams ready for construction.

The Programme Manager will provide portfolio-level reporting internally and externally, tracking the projects' status, and following up on the completion of deliverables by the supply chain parties.
