Good Growth

Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor's environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.

The Mayor's Infrastructure Coordination Service (ICS) is an innovative, award-winning, multi-disciplinary team that drives better collaboration in the planning and delivery of London's utility infrastructure. The ICS operates three main service lines: the Streets Service (promoting collaborative street works and the "dig once" approach), the Development Service (accelerating utility connections for strategic developments), and the Planning Service (undertaking long-term infrastructure planning for London).

This advertised role will sit within the Development Service of the ICS, who partner alongside developers, utility companies and infrastructure providers, regulators, industry representatives, London Councils and boroughs. The team is working in partnership with New Homes Accelerator (NHA) London programme, to accelerate the delivery of housing sites where they face infrastructure issues.

The Government's New Homes Accelerator (NHA) is a programme established by the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) to speed up the delivery of large-scale housing developments that have stalled. The NHA aims to increase the delivery of homes by the end of this Parliament (2029). Since the NHA was established, MHCLG, GLA and London Councils officers have worked in partnership to analyse London's stalled sites and identify suitable interventions to accelerate their delivery.

In early 2026, we established the NHA LDN team, to take a more proactive, London-led role, to identify stalled housing sites and finding practical ways to get them moving again. That means using our powers, data and networks to make things happen. We elevate sites where delivery challenges cannot be addressed through these resources to the MHCLG NHA team for action. They will then provide support with engagement where the challenges relate to other government departments or will work to address policy and systems issues if these are the blockers.

This GLA New Homes Accelerator Team acts as our central point of coordination within the GLA to other internal teams and to MHCLG, London boroughs and external partners, minimising disjointed or duplicative communication to key partner organisations. They will work closely with other teams to unblock sites and get homes built in London

This is an exciting opportunity to play a leading role in accelerating housing delivery across London by tackling one of the sector's most significant challenges: utility and infrastructure coordination.

As Project Manager within the Mayor's Infrastructure Coordination Service, you will lead technical and project management activity to support the New Homes Accelerator London programme, helping unlock strategic housing developments that face infrastructure constraints. Working at the intersection of development, utilities, and public policy, you will bring together key partners to identify innovative…
