Waverley Court

Salary: £40,501 - £47,639 (pro rata for part time)
Hours: 18 per week, 52 weeks

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Transport Strategy and Partnerships team for a Transport Officer (0.5FTE) to project manage the Dynamicity project. This is a 3-year EU Horizon project across 12 European cities, with Edinburgh's role focussing on behaviour change towards uptake of cycling.

The project will apply the 'Cycle Nation' methodology (developed by University of Glasgow) to support members of the public to choose cycling for everyday journeys. The focus of the project will be in areas where Edinburgh has developed segregated cycling infrastructure.

The role will involve partnership working at both the local level, and across project partners (e.g. European cities and partner organisations).

The ideal candidate will be well organised, skilled in motivating others, and be able to successfully foster collaboration.

This is a fixed-term, part-time post running until the end of the project (31st May 2029). Please see the Job Description and Person Specification for more detail on this post.
