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?

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,
· project management experience, preferably involving delivery of similar projects; and
· 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.

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.

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.

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