Job Overview

An exciting opportunity is now available to join the council to work on the development of our Electric Vehicle Charge Point programme as part of our dynamic and ground-breaking Transport Strategy team. This work is central to the borough's bold ambitions to create a cleaner, greener and healthier borough to make our streets a place everyone can enjoy and to tackle climate change.

Main duties of the job

The council is committed to achieving Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and has adopted an ambitious Strategy to achieve this. Crucial to the success of this vision is the transformation of borough streets to provide infrastructure for low carbon travel such as electric vehicle charge points to encourage residents and local businesses to switch to electric vehicles by 2030, so that all vehicles in Islington can be electric.

This work will involve collaborating with the council's teams and our strategic partners to deliver the roll out of electric vehicle charge points across the borough. Your responsibilities will include project management of delivery programmes, procurement, managing contracts and providing responses to resident and member enquiries and FOI requests.

You will ensure your work area is managed in accordance with all relevant policies, legislation and procedures as well as overseeing programme governance, project delivery, research, performance management and reporting.

You will be the principal point of contact for procurement activities and engage effectively with a wide range of key stakeholders using proven project management and communication skills, working collaboratively to successfully develop and deliver your projects.

Working for your organisation

The Council is committed to creating a greener, healthier borough. The delivery of electric vehicle charge points is a key commitment in both the Council's Transport Strategy and our Vision Zero Net Zero Carbon Strategy, and is essential to support our residents in changing the way they travel. Our Transport Strategy team leads on the development of policy and monitoring of our schemes to ensure the services and projects the council provides are focused at achieving the council's objectives. Your role is a key part of the support we want to offer to our residents.
