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 solutions that accelerate infrastructure connections and enable new homes to be built more quickly.

You will manage a portfolio of technically complex projects, providing expert insight on utility connections, infrastructure coordination, and development delivery. This will involve convening developers, overseeing consultants, developing technical guidance and best practice, analysing challenges across the sector, and ensuring lessons learned are shared widely to influence industry approaches and policy.

The role offers a unique opportunity to work on high-profile projects with significant visibility across City Hall, government and industry. You will engage with senior stakeholders across the GLA and the wider sector, helping shape how London's infrastructure networks support the city's growth ambitions.

The successful candidate will combine strong project management skills with the ability to understand and communicate complex utility connection issues as they impact development. Whether your background is in utilities, infrastructure, engineering, development delivery, construction or a related field, you will be motivated by solving challenging problems, building effective partnerships and delivering tangible outcomes for Londoners.
