We currently have two vacancies for a Project Appraisal Manager to join our Strategic Portfolio Office.
The SPO oversees the portfolios of programmes and projects which the Combined Authority funds. The schemes are delivered directly by the Combined Authority or through one of our partner organisations (in the public and private sector). Whichever the delivery route, the SPO has responsibility for ensuring that schemes meet the strategic aims of the organisation and have a robust strategic, economic, commercial, financial, and management case (as per the central Government Green Book Appraisal & Evaluation, and Five Case Model) to give assurance that they will be developed and delivered within the agreed time, cost, and quality framework.
The schemes that the Combined Authority promotes and funds, and which are appraised by the SPO, cover a broad range such as infrastructure schemes covering transport, housing, regeneration, and clean growth, as well as digital connectivity, business support and culture.
