My client is looking for an enthusiastic and pro-active individual who has a passion for delivery and making our Local Transport Plan happen on the ground. We particularly welcome candidates who can make this happen and help us deliver even more efficiently.
 
Your scheme portfolio will be at the forefront of implementing the policies within the County Council's Local Transport Plan.

·road safety schemes which contribute to reducing injury accidents on our network
·plugging gaps and missing links in our sustainable transport network
·providing interventions that encourage walking and cycling trips to school.    
 
No two days are the same due to the variety of work within the Highways Operations group.
 
You will be:

·out and about around the County seeing schemes you are sponsoring develop and deliver
·working collaboratively with our consultant and delivery partners to ensure effective and on time delivery

We are looking for an enthusiastic and pro-active individual to join the service who is an articulate communicator with strong negotiation skills.
