Wakefield is a growing district, with significant housing and employment developments being progressed.
We are looking for two enthusiastic and committed transport planners, who have some experience of aspects of Transport Planning; to be part of our Transport Planning Team.
What will be expected from me?
The purpose of this role is to provide transport planning expertise for transport project development across a range of projects and the development of policies and programmes of transport schemes and interventions.
The post is a career grade, the level of appointment and future progression is dependent on meeting the criteria commensurate with the level as listed in the job specification.
What will I be doing?
Following the £1.8bn devolution deal in 2021, West Yorkshire receives significant government funding for transport schemes. We work closely with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to deliver schemes and initiatives that address the council’s objectives.
