Permanent
Lead Transport Officer
Lead Transport Officer
Cambridgeshire is an extremely popular place to work and live with a successful economy. The rate of new jobs created, the scale of business innovation and inward investment, development pressures and demand for new homes, have all contributed to a remarkably strong Cambridge sub-region. However growth in Cambridgeshire is not evenly distributed with some parts of the County having weaker local economies, lower incomes, rural isolation and limited infrastructure.
Transport planning has a key role in helping to address some of these challenges and Cambridgeshire County Council is now looking to appoint two Lead Transport Officers to lead our strategy work in this area.
In this exciting role you will be responsible for developing and supporting transport and infrastructure policies, strategies and programmes for Cambridgeshire, including the Local Transport Plan and Long Term Transport Strategy, and detailed transport strategies for Cambridgeshire’s Districts.
You will also support the delivery of key corporate and partner priorities, including those set out in:
• The Greater Cambridge City Deal,
• The Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Strategic Economic Plan, and
• The District and City Council’s Local Plans.
The role will also support the management, co-ordination, monitoring and reporting of progress on key projects including the work of consultants, managing claims process, and monitoring finance and contractual arrangements to ensure compliance with funders and Council requirements.
For any informal enquiries about the role please contact Karen Kitchener on 01223 715486 or Jack Eagle on 01223 703269.
