Senior Specialist – Traffic Management

Swindon Borough Council are on an exciting journey to transform service delivery. We want our town to be the best it can be. Our ambitious vision in the new Swindon Plan is supported by realistic transformation programmes, with the people of Swindon at their heart. Because that’s who we’re doing it for – the communities and businesses that make our town great.

As part of the Council, you’ll support a friendly local authority making decisions with real impact. It’s all for better public services. Better processes. And a better quality of life, for everyone. Join us, and Swindon will be better with you.

We are seeking a skilled and driven professional to lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of traffic management strategies and operations. This pivotal role ensures the safe, efficient, and sustainable movement of people and vehicles across the network, while supporting local priorities and statutory responsibilities.

You will provide expert leadership on road safety, traffic regulation, and congestion management, working closely with members, stakeholders, and communities to develop and deliver effective schemes. This is a great opportunity to shape traffic management initiatives, drive innovation, and improve transport outcomes across the borough.

The ability to travel throughout the Borough will be required and access to a car, in order to make site visits and attend meetings.

You must be fluent in the English language (as a requirement of Part 7 of the Immigration Act “for the effective performance of a customer-facing role”).

As an employee, you will be in a diverse and exciting environment that encourages creativity and innovation, while recognising the need to support ongoing personal development and a flexible work life balance.

For Swindon to thrive in the future, we need to lay the foundations now. It’s why our regeneration and transformation programmes are already underway. So, you’ll be joining us at an exciting time on our journey. We’ll look to you to share your knowledge, influence decisions and drive real, positive change. With your contributions, we’ll achieve our vision of a prosperous, re‑vitalised Swindon together.

And you’ll be proud to say it was made better with you.

Potential applicants are sometimes put off if they don’t meet 100% of the requirements. We think individual experience, skills and passion make all the difference, so if you meet the majority of the criteria, we’d love to hear from you.
