Secondment 12 Months
INTERNAL ONLY (DCC Employees Only)
An opportunity is being advertised to join the Transport Planning team as a Principal Transport Planning Officer on a 12 month secondment. If you're looking for your next career step and want to be part of the leadership in an ambitious team with a varied workload, please consider applying.
It is an exciting time to be joining the team in a senior role – we’ve recently secured a number of high-profile multi-modal grant funding opportunities including Bus Service Improvement Plan, Active Travel Fund and Levelling Up Funds. The team have also recently developed a new Local Transport Plan, building on the recent strategies such as the Exeter Transport Strategy, Bus Service Improvement Plan, Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans and, crucially, the Devon Carbon Plan. Your role would be to assist with the delivery of our grant programmes, develop and implement new strategies and play a key role in leading the wider team. As an effective communicator, you will be a proven team player and confident liaising with County Councillors, stakeholders and presenting at Committees to secure decisions on transport proposals.
The post will be full time and will be based at County Hall, with flexible working and the potential for a proportion of homeworking during the working week. This role is likely to lead the Western team area covering North Devon, Torridge, West Devon and South Hams so some travel to other work bases will be required.
Interview Date: 23 & 24 September 2025
