Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. Because, we’re not just home to UK’s fast-growing economy.

The Role
In this role you will play a key part in providing professional guidance and advice on the transport implications and opportunities of new development sites in Camden, to ensure that such developments maximise their role in delivering a sustainable, healthy and inclusive transport system in the Borough as set out in the Camden Transport Strategy.

You will be working closely with planning and other colleagues across the Council to help shape new developments, review and update relevant planning policies relating to transport issues from new developments.

The role will also help secure funding for behaviour change initiatives via “Travel Plan Monitoring and Measures” contributions from new developments. This will include developing relationships with TfL, in order to help secure public transport investments.

The role will also play a key role in securing Travel Plans, Construction Management Plans and Delivery Servicing Plans from new developments, and then working with developers to review and implement actions from those plans, especially from residential, workplace and schools developments.

You will have a good understanding and experience of the policy and statutory framework which transport planning and related activities operates. You will have a good understanding and experience of linking land-use and development to advancing sustainable transport strategies. You will be able to demonstrate effective partnership working and the ability to develop good stakeholder relations.

You will be able to demonstrate success in managing and delivering policies/projects relating to sustainable travel and new developments. To ensure success in this role, you will need to have a good understanding and appreciate of issues specifically around streetscape design, accessibility and sustainability.

And you will need to demonstrate experience of being an effective project manager, capable of successfully managing initiatives, often over-lapping with one another, both on time and to budget.
