Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Introduction

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and hard-working Senior Transport Planner, or an aspiring one, to join our dynamic and growing team working in the greenest city in the UK. You will support the delivery of transport schemes across the city.

While the role is ideal for someone with a background in transport or project management and a track record of delivery. We also know that some candidates will not meet every single requirement, so if your experience looks a little different from the job description and person specification, and you think you can bring value to the role, then we'd love to learn more about you.

Role Overview

Based in the transport programmes team, you will assist the council in delivering a variety of transport schemes, both capital and revenue. Key projects currently in progress include:

• Transforming Cities projects to improve active travel
• Public transport corridor schemes
• Road safety initiatives
• Traffic management schemes
• Electric Vehicle charging
• Behaviour change projects

Candidate Requirements

The successful candidate will demonstrate the skills, knowledge, experience or qualifications outlined in the Job Description. You should have experience overseeing projects of various sizes and possess a strong interest and enthusiasm for transport systems and planning. If you have considerable experience in scheme development, we'd love to hear from you.

With excellent verbal and written communication skills, you will be able to build strong relationships and have experience preparing business cases, securing funding or investment, and managing finances effectively.

For further information, please contact the Transport Programmes Manager, David Whitley - initially via [e-mail]

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.

It is a great time to join us and we welcome your application.

Under the Disability Confident Scheme, disabled applicants, who meet the essential criteria of this job, are guaranteed an interview.

Full-time employees work 37 hours for 52 weeks of the year and we offer a generous holiday entitlement. We are open to discussions about a wide range of flexible working opportunities which benefit you and the Council, including reduced hour contracts, working part time or as a job share.

If you are appointed to this role, your starting salary will be at the bottom of the grade. If you provide pay slip evidence that your basic pay is greater than the bottom of the grade, we will consider starting you at the point of minimum advantage within the grade.

Equality of pay is extremely important to us. All roles at Sheffield City Council are going through an evaluation process which may result in changes to some pay arrangements from 2026. Find out more on our Sheff news page .
