We're partnering with a major UK transport infrastructure operator as it enters one of the most significant chapters in its history. Development consent is now in place to expand the organisation's capacity, and the focus is shifting from securing consent to delivering it.
We're looking for an experienced interim Head of DCO (Development Consent Order) Growth. You'll lead the programme that turns the consent into real, responsible growth, and you'll own the organisation's obligations as it moves towards its next phase of expansion.
The role:
- Lead delivery of the Development Consent Order, making sure all requirements, obligations and commitments are met, tracked and reported.
- Develop and deliver the enabling plans for the next stage of growth, including preparing for the formal growth notice and activation process.
- Design, manage and deliver a multi-million-pound community mitigation and compensation scheme.
- Build strong, trusted relationships with a wide range of public and commercial stakeholders. These include local authorities, regulators, community groups, commercial partners and internal leadership.
- Direct and manage third-party consultants, advisers and delivery partners.
- Provide clear governance, reporting and assurance to senior leadership throughout the programme.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll bring:
- Proven experience delivering a DCO or other Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, ideally including the post-consent phase.
- Strong programme and project delivery experience in complex, highly regulated environments.
- Confidence in a pressurised, high-profile setting where public scrutiny is high.
- Excellent stakeholder management, with the credibility to work equally well with community groups and executive boards.
- A background in transport, infrastructure, energy or another regulated sector.
- Experience of community compensation or mitigation schemes would be a real advantage.
