We are looking for a Senior Project Manager to lead consultation, design and implementation of major projects involving
* on street segregated cycleways;
* pedestrian and public realm upgrades; and
* off street walking, wheeling and cycling routes.

Our programme is a major component of Edinburgh's City Mobility Plan 2021-2030 and its accompanying Capital Investment Programme. These aim to transform urban travel over the next decade to deliver a healthier, thriving, fairer and compact capital city, and a higher quality of life for all residents, as we transition to a zero-carbon future.

The projects involved are mainly on-street, including transformation of city centre streets, cycle tracks on suburban roads and reconfiguring junctions, but also include some new structures and associated landscaping on off-street routes.

You should have:

• a relevant degree and extensive relevant experience;
• project management experience, preferably involving delivery of similar projects; and
• knowledge of the issues, opportunities and problems associated with delivering urban active travel projects.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.
