You will be involved in the development, management and delivery of outputs of contracts with consultant suppliers who work with CMBC on both business cases for capital schemes and policy / strategy development.
If you have recent experience of successfully supporting a significant transport project and/ or policy development for local government, we would welcome your application. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate strong organisational and communication skills and collaborative working. Applicants would be expected to be qualified in Transport Planning or an equivalent transport and/or built environment related field to Masters level or to have professional working experience in the Transport Planning field.
