Hours: 36 per week

Would you like to help Edinburgh deliver its ambitious programme of investment in walking, wheeling and cycling, public realm and street improvements as it works towards its City Mobility Plan 2021-2030?

We want someone to help manage our programme, developing joined up systems and processes to help us coordinate more efficient delivery of active travel improvements. You would be part of a small team looking after programme data for the active travel team. This would include:

• Helping maintain and make better use of project data on scopes, costs, programmes, and risks, including liaising with colleagues on project programmes and cost reports.
• Providing GIS support to the programme to help with strategic decision making, engagement and monitoring.
• Coordinating with other teams on use and maintenance of asset management and renewals programme datasets.

You would be working closely with other members of our highly-motivated and growing Active Travel Team to take forward the programme.

The programme involves implementing on-street segregated cycleways, pedestrian and public realm upgrades; and off-street walking, wheeling and cycling routes. The projects involved are mainly on-street, including transformation of city centre streets, cycle tracks on suburban roads and reconfiguring junctions, but also includes some new structures and associated landscaping on off-street routes.

You should have:

• a relevant degree,
• competence in Microsoft Excel and GIS software
• desirably, experience in project or programme management, preferably involving delivery of similar projects;
• knowledge of the issues, opportunities and problems associated with implementing engineering projects in an urban area, particularly on-street.

The team is hybrid working, with the office base being the Council’s main office at Waverley Court next to Waverley Station.

We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.

As part of our goal to improve our organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure that we’re bringing the best people into our roles, not just in their skills and experience but also in their approach to work.

To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
