Job Description:
Steve Rotheram, the Liverpool City Region’s Metro Mayor was re-elected in May 2021 with a promise to deliver a London-style integrated public transport system for the people of our city region. Buses will play a vital role in the delivery of this objective, so now it’s time for us to ‘unleash the bus’, and we need your help to do it

8 out of 10 public transport journeys in our region are made on buses and we must ensure that the customer experience is world class. Working towards that goal means the Bus Team within the Combined Authority needs to grow so that we have the right capacity and skills to deliver at pace.

This is a great opportunity for people with the right skills, expertise and attitude to join an organisation that is making a difference and delivering transformational change on behalf of the 1.6 million people that live, work and spend their leisure time in the Liverpool City Region .

Bus punctuality, reliability and journey times are critically important to bus users and we want to do a better job of supporting this and making bus a mode of choice. Our Green Bus Routes Programme is the foundation of the work that we are doing to improve the customer’s experience whilst travelling on the bus network, delivering significant enhancements to bus journeys on our most congested bus routes

We are currently working on a series of measures to improve bus journeys between Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens, with other areas soon to follow.

A project of this scale needs plenty of skills and expertise to ensure that we deliver improvements to benefit bus users, and to attract people out of their cars. Key attributes we are looking for include programme management, subject matter expertise on bus priority, understanding customer requirements and stakeholder engagement, all underpinned by a relentless focus on delivery.

As the Programme Manager your mission will be to deliver our Green Bus Routes programme across the City Region, on time, to budget and to the right standard as well as being responsible for the realisation of programme benefits. The Programme Manager will undertake all aspects of the planning, management, coordination and financial control of the programme.
