About Us
Our Greenwich Plan sets out our vision for the next few years focusing on the changes we collectively want to see in our borough and Council. We want to become a more strategic, efficient and adaptive organisation, in order to deliver for our communities. Our workforce is key to making this happen.
Royal Greenwich is a borough synonymous with first‑class modern services. Our vibrant, diverse communities span Greenwich town centre in the west, to Thamesmead in the east, from the Greenwich Peninsula in the north to Eltham in the south. Royal Greenwich has a reputation for combining ambition with delivery. We are on a journey towards a low‑carbon future and the sustainability agenda will influence all areas of the Council’s work.
About The Role
This Transport Planner role will provide support for the delivery of an efficient and effective strategic and transportation‑specific advisory and evaluation service for the Borough. You will also be able to contribute to other transport issues on a borough‑wide basis and at a sub‑regional and regional level as appropriate.
You will work closely with officers in the Highways, Parking and Transportation Service, which may include working on joint projects and/or matrix management approaches.
The post holder will report to the Transport Planning Manager as well as other strategic members of the division.
The postholder will assist in defining and prioritising transport schemes and programmes which the Council would wish to progress, helping to take these to a sufficient level of development to hand over to the delivery teams for design and implementation. This may include helping to co‑ordinate the development of programme and project funding strategies, including the identification, submission and securing of grant and other matching funding. You will also support in setting transport policies and identifying transport schemes in line with the various plans within the Transport Strategy and associated action plans.
