Transport in Birmingham is changing as it sees unprecedented levels of investment in transport projects.

Are you interested in being part of these exciting opportunities helping to deliver these transport projects?

We are seeking high calibre managers to join our Projects teams to support the delivery of transport projects including 2022 Commonwealth Games Infrastructure, HS2 interface, Clean Air Zone, Bus Rapid Transit (Sprint), Metro, and City Centre Public Realm.

We are looking for highly motivated individuals with either construction or design-based project/programme management experience in delivering transport projects.  You will manage multidisciplinary teams (either site or design based), projects and resources efficiently and effectively, and be innovative to support economic growth, congestion reduction, modal shift and accessibility.

We are looking for people who can demonstrate practical experience at a senior level for technical and service delivery aspects of transport projects and programmes. A proven ability to manage people, governance, technical outputs, budgets and financial systems, and to deliver projects and programmes is an essential requirement.

Successful candidates will be supported with their continuous professional development. Knowledge in the NEC forms of contract would be advantageous and for site based roles relevant Health & Safety qualifications are required.

You will get a minimum of 29 days holiday allowance per year, the opportunity to join a market leading pension scheme and enjoy an impressive package of other health and wellbeing benefits including our flexible working policy, agile working and discounts with some of the UK's top retailers, fashion and tech brands. 

It should also be noted that the City Council is adapting to ‘New Ways of Working’, embracing the principals of increased remote and agile working with less reliance on office-based working.

Interviews for this post will take place virtually via video conferencing. Shortlisted candidates will be provided with further information.
