We have an opportunity for a Public Transport Officer in the Public Transport Team within the Strategic City Transport Service. The work of the Public Transport Team covers a wide remit, from designing and delivering bus infrastructure and bus priority projects, through to maintaining and managing the public transport network, as well as overseeing other aspects of the public transport network.

Bristol is a vibrant, exciting, diverse European City to live and work in. Come and help shape its future.

The City has ambitious plans to deliver improved transport infrastructure, both in the City and within the wider region. These plans include;
• Implementation of a Clean Air Zone;
• Developing Mass Transit options for the city;
• Supporting the rollout of a council-owned charge point network to enable cleaner transport to meet our carbon neutrality target of 2030;
• Transforming our local communities through the development of ‘Liveable Neighbourhoods’;
• Build on our success as Cycling City to further develop and implement a world class walking and cycling network in the city;
• Trialling and testing new transport technologies through our ‘Future Transport Zones’ programme of work.

Bristol sits within a strong economic area, working with its neighbouring cities and towns to maximise economic growth through the West of England Combined Authority, West of England Local Enterprise Partnership and Western Gateway.

The role will be wide ranging and will enable you to participate in the delivery of public transport infrastructure projects, support other aspects of the team’s work, as well as supporting the wider project delivery as detailed above.

The team is based in Temple Street and work closely with a range of internal and external teams and stakeholders. You will join an experienced team, who will help you develop your skills and career. The post is on the Transport Service Career Progression Scheme, giving you the potential ability to progress through the pay grades. The Council also offers flexible working arrangements and consideration would be given to job share.
