Your chance to play a fundamental part in our ambitious plans to decarbonise the region through the development, implementation, and management of green growth initiatives.
Welcome to EMCCA
EMCCA is the UK’s first mayor-led combined county authority. The East Midlands is a great region. But it deserves to be better. Better connected, better funded and better prepared for a future of opportunity, growth, and hope. EMCCA will oversee devolved powers around transport, housing, skills and adult education, economic development, and net zero. We will conceive the strategies and create the connections that will empower local partners, people and businesses – maximising the impact of billions of pounds of funding. Together, our new EMCCA team can put the East Midlands on the map as a place to live, work and study.
Your role in elevating the East Midlands
We fundamentally believe that the green industrial revolution offers new global opportunities to our region and have ambitious plans to decarbonise and introduce innovative carbon capture initiatives.
Your role will lead the development of the programme that enables this, including strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, project management, and ensuring that all programs align with our sustainability goals. In this role an understanding of ‘growth’ is as important as an understanding of ‘green’. We need to attract low carbon jobs, investment, and innovation to the region and you will connect these and other initiatives to help facilitate both sustainability and economic prosperity.
Key Responsibilities Include
* Developing and implement comprehensive green growth and net zero projects and programs that align with the organisation’s mission and objectives.
* Oversight of the delivery of projects and programmes through a mix of internal and commissioned projects, for example Local Area Energy Planning and Retrofit.
* Identifying and securing funding opportunities, including grants, partnerships, and other financial resources to support green growth initiatives.
* Carrying out energy project assessments and utilisation of wider team expertise to generate compelling business cases; project values can exceed £20m
* Developing and managing strategic relationships with key stakeholders including National Grid and Cadent Gas and other important strategic regional organisations.
* Supporting key partners in the development and delivery of an investible pipeline of projects, including projects of regional and national significance, furthering the Net Zero ambition.
* Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of green growth programs, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with best practices.
* Preparation and presentation of detailed reports on program progress, outcomes, and impact to senior management and stakeholders.
Your Profile
* Relevant degree or equivalent experience.
* A proven track record of success in Net Zero project delivery and green initiatives.
* A strong background in environmental sustainability, project management, and leadership
* Evidence of being able to set up and run multiple, largescale projects at speed in challenging or complex stakeholder environments.
* Evidence of building strong, collaborative, and enduring cross-sector partnerships.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
