Principal Transport Planner

The ultimate goal of the Transport planning team is to deliver better experiences for passengers, residents and businesses, better connectivity both inward and outward to our neighbours, region and nations and ultimately a better place to live. Our goal is to ensure transport is a focus for all relevant plans from a wide range of council departments, for example the Local Plan, Climate Change mitigation plan, Public Health, Care leavers plan, and so on.

You will need to build alliances and relationships across the whole council, and with the many external agencies we work with. This is a key role taking a leading position in what and how we deliver connectivity, and how we make intelligent investment decisions for DfT funding streams.

This role offers not just a platform to make an impact, but also a chance to grow your career in a workplace that values your expertise and ambition with formal training already funded and lots more opportunities to develop available. The location for this role is Hereford.
