Derby City Council

Team Leader

Grade: K £37,849 - £40,760 a year

Directorate: Communities & Place

Hours: 37 hours a week

Contract type: Permanent

Location: The Council House

The Traffic and Transportation Section manages a wide range of services and functions across Derby’s busy transport network. These include passenger transport, traffic control, traffic engineering, parking services, Cycle Derby, highways development management, sustainable travel and transport planning. We are looking for a flexible individual to help lead our highways development management function and increase our transport planning skill base.

This is a key post that primarily requires experience in highways development management. We are seeking an individual with a balanced approach, who can protect the interests of the highway authority but also build relationships with developers to find solutions to problems. The open structure that Traffic and Transportation operates provides the opportunity to take on projects from other functions within the Section. As such, experience in other areas such as transport planning or traffic engineering would be useful.

You will need either a degree or equivalent in a highways engineering discipline, or significant experience that demonstrates a thorough knowledge of highways development management, relevant legislation and transportation issues. You will have good communication skills, team leadership skills and be able to manage a varied workload.

For an informal discussion please contact Andrew Gibbard on 01332 641756.
