Job Description

 

We are at the forefront of northern growth, and a flagship for successful devolution.

As the new Local Transport Authority for Tees Valley we have ambitious plans to transform the transport infrastructure in Tees Valley to enable the 660,000 residents of Tees Valley and the businesses based in the area to get around the area easily and effectively.  Working with local, regional and national partners this new role will lead the delivery of this transformational change for the area.

The Tees Valley Combined Authority is responsible for overseeing around £½ billion in investment funds, with more to come through new devolution deals. 

Straddling the boundaries of County Durham and North Yorkshire, the Tees Valley covers five local authorities – Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar & Cleveland – with a combined population of 660,000.

The Authority incorporates the highly successful Local Enterprise Partnership, Tees Valley Unlimited, and sustains strong links with the local business community and other partners.  Together, we aim to create 25,000 jobs and £2.8bn extra growth by 2026.  From May 2017 a Mayor will be elected to chair our leadership board.

Having recently appointed our Managing Director we are now looking to recruit a Head of Transport.   As the lead advisor for a new transport authority, you would develop and deliver a strategic transport plan, and set priorities for investment and services; for all modes of transport.

You will have senior leadership experience and strong partnership skills, enabling you to work with multiple stakeholders to deliver demonstrable results.

With a strong background in transport policy and development, your remit ranges from the delivery of our ambitions to expand cycling and walking, to improve bus and rail services, transform our infrastructure, and enhance our northern, national and international connectivity.
