Director of Transport Commissioning and Development
Looking for one of the best transport jobs in the UK?
It’s hard to overstate the scale of our transport ambitions. With a game-changing £1.6bn investment from government now confirmed, we can give the green light to one of the most extensive, forward-focused and integrated transport programmes in the UK. If you’re the person we’re looking for, you’ll want to get on board.
We’re building a greener, more accessible, more affordable and betterconnected public transport system that will support communities, our economy and the Combined Authority’s wider objectives as a city region. That means a fully franchised bus network, new rail stations, enhancements to existing rail stations, and a new rapid transit network. You’ll also lead the development of a new operating model for the Merseyrail network, as well as overseeing the transport integration afforded by the rollout of a new brand and smart ticketing that connects communities directly to jobs, new homes, cultural attractions, and major regeneration projects.
You’ll lead the commissioning and delivery of our 2040 Local Transport Plan, working as a visible and influential member of the senior team within the CA. Whether gained in the public or commercial sectors, your impressive track record of delivery, partnership working and system-shaping will set you apart. And you’ll have the personal credibility and technical skillset to make things happen at a pace that unlocks opportunity, adds capacity and secures outstanding public value for generations to come.
