With a culture of openness, there is always someone within the business who can provide advice and support for almost any query. Our way of working We take pride in delivering projects effectively for clients. This often requires colleagues to be together- in offices or on site to ensure the best outcomes. However, when possible, we also advocate for flexibility around how, when, and where you work. There is no 'one approach fits all' each team manages their own way of working, we trust our employees and focus on outputs not inputs. Meeting up with colleague and clients face to face in office environments or on site is important for collaboration, face-to-face meetings, appraisals and development.

And we're making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here's where you can help decide a better future for us all.

About you To be successful in this securing this role you will have strong experience of successful project management and delivery of complex, area-wide traffic-reduction and heathy streets schemes. You will also have a strong understanding and experience of the policy and statutory framework within which the Euston Masterplan Healthy Streets, transport planning and related activities fit. You will be a pro-active and forward-thinking experienced project manager, capable of successfully managing initiatives, often over-lapping with one another, both on time and to budget. You will be able to demonstrate effective partnership working on transport matters related to the Euston project, and the ability to develop strong stakeholder relations, including across internal departments, and liaising and negotiating with all relevant external organisations including Transport for London, the Greater London Authority, other Boroughs and external partners/stakeholder groups, on behalf of the Council. You will be able to help prepare high quality papers and reports for Council Committees, public meetings, and other bodies such as appeals and public inquiries (may be required to attend such events as and when necessary).
