Job description

Technical Business Analyst – Public Transport Technology

Salary: Up to £75,000 + Benefits

Is this you?

You love tech, solving problems, and building solutions.

You can hold your own in conversations about software, connectivity, cloud, security, and data, even if you are not a deep technical specialist.

You thrive on working with people, managing stakeholders, and seeing complex projects come to life.

If that sounds like you, this could be your next big career move.

About the Company

Our client is a global leader in delivering innovative technology solutions for the public transport sector. We have been proud to support them in the UK for the last 18 months, building a phenomenal team that is driving real change in the industry. This is a client we know, trust, and love working with.

From cutting-edge ticketing platforms and passenger information systems to real-time data, scheduling, and cloud-based analytics, they design and deliver enterprise-scale technology that keeps people moving.

Their mission is simple. To make public transport more reliable, connected, and passenger-friendly. They achieve this through innovation, collaboration, and a deep commitment to quality.

Their Nottingham headquarters is home to a talented, diverse team working in a state-of-the-art, air-conditioned environment. They combine global reach with a supportive, close-knit culture, where you will have access to exceptional training, international projects, and the chance to shape the future of mobility.

The Role

We are now helping our client to build their new Business Analysis function and are hiring a Technical Business Analyst to join in September. This is a long-term career opportunity with huge scope to learn, grow, and make a real impact on public transport technology at enterprise scale.

You will work in a hybrid pattern from their modern offices in central Nottingham. There will be opportunities for international travel to meet stakeholders, attend workshops, and help deliver projects that are changing how millions of people travel.

This is about working on solutions that make public transport smarter. On-vehicle ticketing, scheduling, passenger insight platforms, real-time data, connectivity, cloud, and security. You do not need deep technical expertise, but you must understand the building blocks of technology and be able to bridge conversations between business and IT.

What you will do

• Collaborate with UK and international stakeholders to understand, analyse, and document business requirements for large-scale public transport technology solutions.
• Work on projects involving on-vehicle and infrastructure tech such as ticketing, scheduling, passenger information, and real-time insights.
• Create clear functional and non-functional specifications for development teams.
• Contribute to high-quality bid and tender submissions, representing the solutions team with professionalism and authority.
• Facilitate meetings and workshops to align teams and clarify objectives.
• Support testing and implementation of new systems or processes.
• Monitor performance metrics and provide actionable insights.
• Collaborate with IT teams to ensure solutions fit the technological framework.
• Work closely with development teams for seamless implementation.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies and industry best practices.
• Provide guidance and support to project teams during development and implementation phases.
• Conduct regular reviews of existing systems to identify areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment with organisational strategy.

What you will bring

• Proven experience as a Business Analyst, Systems Engineer, or similar role.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including with senior and international partners.
• Ability to bridge business and technical conversations, covering software, connectivity, cloud, security, and data.
• Experience in public transport technology is an advantage, particularly ticketing, AVL/RTPI, scheduling, or passenger information systems.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Familiarity with tools like Excel, SQL, JIRA, Confluence, Power BI, Tableau, or BPMN software.
• Relevant degree or equivalent experience.
• Certification in relevant technologies or business process methodology such as CBAP or PMI-PBA is a plus.

What is in it for you

• Salary up to £75,000 plus benefits package
• International travel opportunities
• Extensive product and technology training
• Incredible, modern offices in central Nottingham with hybrid working
• A collaborative, high-performing, and supportive team
• The chance to contribute to an incredible mission shaping the future of public transport technology
