Up to 37.5 hours per week

We are very happy to discuss working hours to suit individual circumstances.  This role is suitable for school leavers and those looking for job share / compressed hours / school hours.

Base: London, with some travel to sites across the capital and elsewhere

About the role

As a Project Officer, you will provide support on all aspects of project work carried out by our friendly Neighbourhoods and Networks team. You will carry out a broad range of transport planning tasks, such as on-street audits and liaising with local people to improve walking and cycling infrastructure.

You will provide project support on the delivery of area-wide schemes to improve the built environment improvement, such as School Streets and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. A key element will be providing project support on the delivery of linear infrastructure schemes, including NCN routes, TfL Cycleways and other walking and cycling routes.

Part of this role is relationship building; you will engage with colleagues from the Built Environment team, including engineers, urban designers and landscape architects to make high-level recommendations for appropriate infrastructure improvements. You will also need to develop strong working relationships with project stakeholders such as Transport for London, Borough Officers, and representatives of local community groups.

About you

We are looking for a team player who can showcase their enthusiasm for the role. We will ask you to demonstrate your relationship building and communication skills as they are key to this role.

We will look for evidence of your organisational skills. Good numeracy and analytical skills are required, as we often need to analyse data from public engagement surveys and traffic flows.

Finally, we also produce lots of maps using GIS software, so good spatial skills and an understanding of maps would be beneficial.
