• Is organised, accurate and able to manage competing priorities.
• Has good attention to detail and can identify where information needs further review.
• Can work independently while contributing positively as part of a team.
• Has strong communication and customer service skills.
• Is professional, approachable and motivated to learn.
• Enjoys finding practical solutions to problems.

Why join us?

• Be part of a growing team shaping the future of transport in North East Lincolnshire.
