Opportunity: 

We have a fantastic opportunity within our Highways business for an ambitious and talented Social Value Advisor to sit across the Infrastructure business.

The successful candidate will be joining the existing team of passionate and dedicated professionals working together in this innovative business. 

Social Value is the extraction of additional value to society from a procurement exercise. Broadly this value must demonstrate a measurable social, economic and/or environmental benefit to communities. We are investing in this role because:

  • Social Value calculations are being adopted more widely by procurers in their decision-making process
  • Social Value is becoming a ‘hard’ subject which will link directly to commercial performance on projects.
  • Social Value as an outcome is intrinsic to performance in innovation and efficiency, two other increasingly critical competencies required to increase productivity in the industry
  • To increase the ability to respond more coherently and shape more effective service offerings in the area of Social Value

 

We are looking for people who share our passion for the project at hand whilst also being able to work within a fun and hardworking team environment. 

Responsibilities: 

As the Social Value Advisor you will:

  • Identify and understand the Social Value triggers in a contract and develop a best-practice approach as result
  • Support the Project Team to implement Morgan Sindall Social Value Strategy
  • Work with the Project Team and customer to establish social value metrics and the Social Value Charter for the project
  • Develop a value for money approach from effective community engagement practice 

The right applicant will be able to demonstrate commercial awareness and knowledge regarding forms of contract and their impact on Social value outcomes. The SVA will demonstrate experience of managing Social Value projects and demonstrate experience of working within a work winning/bid room environment

Previous experience within a similar background is essential.
