In addition to this, you work will involve supporting a plethora of other workloads from the Bus and Coach Strategy to LTCP monitoring, integrated transport, consultation responses and much more.
A critical component to this role will be stakeholder engagement both external (i.e. with councillors, town and parishes and key stakeholders) and internal colleagues.
