Job description

About the role

Be part of The Great Grid Upgrade. The electricity network is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are investing in a cleaner, greener grid, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.

The Great Grid Upgrade is the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations. These major infrastructure projects require us to identify opportunities to better plan how we will deliver our planning consents. That's why we're looking for a Consents Coordinator to support the Consents team. You'll join a team of experienced consenting and environmental professionals, who play a crucial role supporting the delivery of planning consents across our portfolio of projects.

This is an opportunity for you to apply your administrative experience and gain excellent exposure to projects that support the UK’s net zero and power decarbonisation targets.

This role is based from Warwick and you can enjoy our hybrid working from office and home.

Key accountabilities

Communication: Strong written and verbal communication is crucial. We communicate with a varied group of stakeholders, including local communities, government, Ofgem and colleagues from all over National Grid. You’ll quickly learn how to tailor messaging and ‘translate’ between different stakeholders, so that each piece is received by its audience in a positive, meaningful way. You’ll use your eye for detail to ensure all communications are accurate and comprehensive.

Data: You'll ensure you have both a current and forward view of things such as current workload versus forthcoming workload. You'll update information like this and ensure it is accessible and visible for all relevant parties. You will maintain a central place for our documents and records and be responsible for the storage of information such as lessons learnt. You'll act as a coordinator of information across the consents team in the business, including supporting the coordination of information across Projects in particular where interactions occur. You will support the management of performance data and monthly reporting.

Organisation: When team members lack the capacity to undertake certain tasks you will step in, supporting in areas such as group bookings for travel, accommodation, meeting arrangements and meeting rooms. You might be managing a shared inbox, looking after things like invoices, quotes and raising purchase orders on behalf of the team.

About you

• A self-starter with excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Comfortable working with data and preparing reports.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Capable of working collaboratively with a wide variety of stakeholders.
• Competent in the use of MS Office applications.
• An awareness, or interest, in the consenting regimes and processes relevant to complex infrastructure projects, such as Planning Act, Development Consent Orders etc. would be an advantage.

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £36,000 - £40,000 - dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
