Summary
Overview
Property Directorate is a customer service organisation that exists to enable our customers to perform to their best. We do this by providing working environments in which our customers want to work, and which support them in delivering their outputs efficiently, and by providing high quality, easy to use services. We manage one of the most diverse and complex estates in Government, hosted in MoJ, including the estates of the Home Office, Prisons, Probation, MoJ HQ and Arm’s Length Bodies (ALBs).
We provide specialist services including facilities management, health & safety, fire safety and security; technical design expertise and sustainability, our cluster partners are supported by account management teams, and we have business management teams supporting the overall Directorate. Our portfolio consists of properties valued at £8.5bn for the MoJ alone.
We work closely with our cluster partners and the Government Property Agency, encouraging healthy collaboration and driving a professional service delivery approach.
We continue to deliver new ways of working across the estates cluster – leading on the scale and pace of activity on this for central government – providing more dynamic and flexible workspace while reducing the cost of the estate.
Team Overview
This is a new and dynamic role within an expanding team that is vital in the execution of several key Government policies that will have a major effect on the Prison sector. This role gives the opportunity for the successful candidate to be involved with crucial Prison strategy developments that will help shape the direction of the estate for the foreseeable future. There is also potential scope for successful candidates to work with the Project Delivery team to take a leading role on delivering the remainder of the expansion portfolio.
This role sits within the Prison Infrastructure and Technical Standards Division and will be responsible for the leadership and management of the digital, BIM and MMC functions within the Technical Standards and Digital team.
The BIM and MMC Delivery Lead is responsible for developing the procurement solutions and market for off-site construction for the Ministry of Justice. MMC is a strategic focus across Whitehall that is increasing in importance as we move to a presumption in favour of off-site construction (where it offers value for money) for all new build’s projects. As such, this will be a greatly rewarding post for a high calibre individual who is well organised, flexible, and able to work to tight deadlines with experience of leading teams to implement fundamental change. The role will require senior management engagement (including to Ministers) on MMC progress, liaising with other government departments to champion MMC and share lessons learned, and promoting MMC internally and externally to move the construction industry forwards.
The post holder is accountable for the successful, timely and quality delivery of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) across our new build prisons, with appropriate engagement through outsourced professional service providers. Your input will be integral to drive forward the next stages of investment and forward planning, and this is excellent opportunity to balance your senior management skills with your technical expertise. They will also be responsible for the successful implementation of specifications and BIM and other digital innovations across our new build and expansions at existing prisons, with appropriate engagement on future programmes of work. Your input will be integral to drive forward the leading role MoJ has played across Government in terms of Digital, MMC and Platform approaches. This is excellent opportunity to balance your senior management skills with your technical expertise.
