CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 07/06/2020 BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT OF THE ROLE

The Northern Estate Programme (NEP) is refurbishing the Northern Estate’s historic buildings and creating a temporary home for the House of Commons during the restoration and renewal of the Palace of Westminster. This follows the decision of both Houses of Parliament in 2018 to fully vacate the Palace of Westminster while essential work to restore and renew the building takes place, with the House of Commons to move to the Northern Estate. The Restoration & Renewal Programme (R&R) has been established to tackle the significant work that needs to be done to preserve the Palace of Westminster and ensure it can continue to serve as home for the UK Parliament in the 21st century. The Vision for the Palace of Westminster R&R Programme is to ‘transform the Houses of Parliament to be fit for the future as the working home for our Parliamentary democracy, welcoming to all and a celebration of our rich heritage. Work has begun to establish a two-tier governance model which has been proven to work well on major projects. The Sponsor Body (now in shadow form) and Delivery Authority, will be set up following the passage of legislation as a statutory body and company limited by guarantee respectively. The Sponsor Body will be a stand-alone organisation, overseeing the work of the Delivery Authority, acting as the single client accountable to Parliament. The Delivery Authority will be accountable for delivering the Sponsor Body’s requirements to budget and timescale and have the management capacity and expertise required for a programme of this scale and complexity. JOB PURPOSE The jobholder will be the key interface between PMST, the Sponsor Body, the Delivery Authority and Strategic Estates, ensuring full engagement with NEP and R&R is maintained throughout the design; development; construction; commissioning; handover; maintenance and operating phases. You will ensure PMST requirements are fully considered during the design stages of the various elements of the projects and the future strategic requirements of PMST are developed to ensure smooth transition from handover to operating and maintenance of buildings and assets. You will represent the PMST team at Board and Committee meetings when required.
