Grade M
Permanent
Closing date August 8th 2022

Tower Hamlets is serious about dealing with the transportation challenges it faces, which include congestion, poor air quality, road danger and physical inactivity and roads in the borough are some of the busiest in the country. With the Elizabeth Line now serving the borough alongside rail, tube, DLR and an extensive bus network, and Santander Cycles the opportunities for change are substantial.

We have invested in creating new professional and technical teams in the growing Highways & Transportation Service to help tackle these issues and provide innovative and creative solutions that will direct the substantial financial investments secured to transform the public realm for the benefit of its unique and diverse community in the heart of the East End of London.

The exciting programmes that are currently being rolled out in the borough include School Streets, flagship high street improvements, LED street lighting replacement programme, Crossrail complementary measures, cycling provision, street tree planting and an extensive EV charging network.

If you are ambitious, talented, flexible and able to work collaboratively with diverse teams of colleagues to deliver some of these improvements, then come and join us on a journey to excellence that will make Tower Hamlets one of the best places in London to walk, cycle and use public transport.

We are looking for a Programme Management & Commissioning Team Leader to lead on the performance management of delivery of a range of Capital and Revenue funded highways, sustainable transport, traffic management and public realm improvement schemes, projects and programmes, as well as responsibility for procuring, contract managing and administering professional services contracts for the Service.

We also have a range of roles available within the Transportation Group that will enable you to shape and deliver a wide range of projects, from public realm enhancements and EV charging points, to helping young people travel healthily to school to developing transport policies for a new Local Plan.

Our matrix system allows you to work across different teams to experience the various strands of work. For an informal chat about any of the roles being advertised, please email [email protected]
