Summary
In order to prepare for the increased investment in active travel, we have undertaken a review of the delivery model for active travel. In 2024-25 we launched the Active Travel Infrastructure Fund. We are also leading on the Bus Infrastructure Fund also launched this year. Both these funds require Transport Scotland to scrutinise proposals for delivery and strategic impact, award funding and monitor delivery.
As post holder you will be working in a dynamic and rapidly developing area with a strong Ministerial, public and media focus. This role demands a dynamic individual with an understanding of transport planning, design, and a passion for promoting sustainable transportation options. You will be responsible for leading the appraisal, design, management, and delivery of sustainable transport programmes, including the Active Travel Infrastructure Fund and Bus Infrastructure Fund. This role requires a technical background in engineering/transport planning, effective project management skills, and the ability to lead, manage and develop a team.
The ideal candidate will ensure project deliverables are achieved on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards, driving innovation, while also providing comprehensive reporting and stakeholder engagement.
The role will report to the Sustainable Transport Technical Team Lead.
