Senior Project Manager (Active Travel)
Waverley Court
Salary: £46,023 - £54,475
Hours: 36 per week, 52 weeks
Would you like to join Edinburgh's Active Travel Team, to help deliver the city's ambitious programme of investment in walking, wheeling and cycling, public realm and street improvements?
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.
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.
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'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.
Happy to talk flexible working.
