Would you enjoy the challenge of turning policies and strategies into deliverable schemes all as part of Greater Manchester’s Bee Network? Come join TfGM’s NPR and High Speed Development Team and help shape transportation across Greater Manchester.
Northern Powerhouse Rail is a major strategic rail programme designed to transform rail connectivity and capacity in the north of England over the next few decades. Comprising a new railway line between Liverpool and Manchester, new stations at Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport alongside enhancements and connect to Metrolink, this is a transformative investment for Greater Manchester and the single largest investment ever in transport infrastructure in the North.
This is an exciting time to start working in transport infrastructure development. Alongside Northern Powerhouse Rail investment, the devolution of powers to Greater Manchester has already seen GM take control of buses alongside its control of Metrolink the largest light-rail network in the country outside of London. With plans to take control of suburban rail by 2030, there are many exciting new challenges and opportunities for you to become a part of as we develop and deliver a joined-up London-style transport system. Why not come and join us and develop your skills as part of a structured career path?
Your Role
As an Assistant Strategic Development Manager in the NPR and High Speed Development Team you will develop and apply knowledge, skills and experience in order to assist with the strategic development of schemes, the production of robust transport business cases, and handover for delivery of authorised funded projects and programmes to time, budget and relevant standards in pursuance of Greater Manchester’s 2040 Transport Strategy.
You will support the Strategic Development Managers and Senior Strategic Development Managers to ensure schemes are developed that best fit GM’s requirements, have robust transport business cases including the right approvals and consents, and appropriate funding and financing arrangements. You will be working alongside stakeholders across the city-region including politicians, local councils and developers on proposals that enhance placemaking and connectivity for Greater Manchester. You will shape schemes so that they can be moved forward for on-time and on-budget delivery to the required standards.
This is a career graded position where you will learn skills that can be applied across the early-stage development of transport schemes, with excellent learning and development opportunities that includes progress towards professional accreditation and structured career path opportunities.
