Want to make a difference by supporting the development and implementation of a bold new long term transport strategy for a growing county, and make the next step in your transport planning career?

Hertfordshire has a population of over one million, directly borders one of the biggest cities in the world, has three major motorways, hosts numerous multi-national companies and has two international airports on its doorstep.  The County Council is looking ahead at the transport strategy required to support economic growth, a growing population and further strengthen the appeal of the county. With one eye on the problems of today and another on the opportunities in the future, this is an exciting time to be working in the transport planning field.

Within a supportive and positive working environment, key tasks will include leading projects to inform new policy and secure funding, as well as projects to monitor and implement policies and schemes in the new Local Transport Plan.

Ideally with a relevant degree and experience, you will be able to demonstrate an excellent understanding of transport planning and policy issues. You will possess excellent communication and project management skills, and be experienced in working and negotiating with a wide range of partners to achieve objectives.
