About the role
The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) is responsible for transforming Greater Cambridge through a City Deal aimed at unlocking the economic growth potential of the area over the coming decades and realising thousands of new jobs and homes.
You will require a good understanding of programme and project management, ideally focused within the Transport field. You will have the ability to work in a fast-paced environment and want the challenge that the considerable financial and strategic value of the programme to be delivered will bring. You will need to be a go-getter that doesn’t let the details slip, organised and someone that thrives on interaction to get the work done.
We are proud to be an inclusive and equal opportunities employer, committed to hiring people based on attitude and merit, regardless of gender identity or expression, ethnic origin, nationality, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation, disability status or any other protected characteristic. We are committed to building a culturally diverse workforce and therefore encourage applications from groups that are underrepresented within the council.
The Greater Cambridge Partnership offers flexible working arrangements which includes remote/home working, job share and part time or full-time agreements.
