Bus Infrastructure Support Officer required to unlock and deliver a backlog of Section 106 (S106) funded transport schemes on a high-impact contract. £320 per day (Umbrella only) 6 Months (strong likelihood of extension) Oxford, Oxfordshire UK (Hybrid - typically 1 day per week on site (flexible) Your new organisation We are partnering with a large, forward-thinking public sector organisation responsible for delivering transport improvements across the region. The Public Transport team plays a critical role in ensuring developer-funded infrastructure, secured through Section 106 agreements, is translated into real-world outcomes. Currently, approximately £3.9m of funding is held against legacy bus infrastructure schemes, much of which is tied up in complex, historic agreements. With increasing scrutiny and a clear need to demonstrate delivery, the organisation is seeking experienced interim support to unlock this funding and enable tangible infrastructure improvements. The environment is collaborative, delivery-focused, and sits at the intersection of planning, transport and procurement. Your new role This is a hands-on project delivery and change-focused role, well suited to someone who enjoys working through ambiguity and driving progress where others have stalled. You will take ownership of a portfolio of S106-funded bus infrastructure schemes, reviewing legacy agreements and progressing them to a point where procurement and delivery can move forward with clarity and pace. Acting as the link between planning, funding, and execution, you will work across multiple teams to interpret complex documentation, define what is required, and shape schemes into deliverable outcomes. The role will involve reviewing S106 agreements to clarify obligations, investigating planning documentation to extract key details, and translating this into clear, practical delivery plans. You will develop early-stage schemes covering bus stops, shelters, and associated infrastructure, while preparing business cases to unlock funding and move programmes through governance. Alongside this, you will engage with stakeholders across planning, legal, transport, and external partners, ensuring alignment and maintaining momentum. A key part of the assignment will be bringing structure to a backlog of cases, prioritising where to act, identifying quick wins, and creating a clear pipeline of delivery-ready schemes. You will also play a part in improving how these cases are handled going forward by introducing a more consistent and repeatable approach. Ultimately, this is a delivery role where success is measured by your ability to create clarity, enable decisions, and unlock progress. What you'll need to succeed You will come from a projects, PMO, or change background and be comfortable operating in environments where information is incomplete or unclear. You will have experience working with complex documentation, whether planning, legal, or technical, and be confident turning that detail into something structured and actionable. Strong organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and maintain momentum across a varied workload. You will be methodical and analytical in your approach, with the ability to interpret ambiguity and arrive at practical solutions. Just as important is your ability to communicate clearly, particularly when summarising complex information into concise business cases or stakeholder updates. You should be comfortable working independently, taking ownership of delivery, and engaging confidently with a range of stakeholders. This role will suit someone who is naturally pragmatic, outcome-focused, and motivated by seeing tangible progress. Desirable experience Experience with Section 106 agreements or planning obligations would be highly beneficial, as would any background in transport, infrastructure, highways, or local government. Familiarity with procurement environments and stakeholder consultation processes would also be advantageous, although this is not essential for candidates with strong transferable experience in delivery and change. What you'll get in return This is a contract with real impact. Alongside a competitive day rate and flexible hybrid working, you will have the opportunity to directly influence the release and delivery of £3.9m in public infrastructure funding. You will gain exposure across multiple functions including planning, transport, and delivery, while taking ownership of a high-visibility workstream with tangible, real-world outcomes.This is an opportunity to step into a role where you can make an immediate difference, not just by progressing individual schemes, but by shaping how future work is delivered.
