Project management pathway

We are offering two roles within the project management pathway:

  • Graduate Assistant Project Manager - Infrastructure
  • Graduate Transport Planner - Highways and Transportation

As an organisation we are working together to achieve a robust and consistent project management approach - to support the effective delivery of change at pace and make sure all our projects and programmes provide the best results for the organisation in order to deliver the outcomes set out in our Strategic Statement.

We also aim to provide proportionate governance arrangements for projects so  the council’s major projects and change initiatives are the ones that require more extensive governance and assurance processes to manage organisational risk appropriately.

Salary

You will receive a starting salary of £29,519 which will increase as you progress.

Training

The job provides you with invaluable on-the-job experience of working in project and programme management within the public sector and offers extensive training and development opportunities you won’t find elsewhere.

Our project management professional pathway includes an embedded Associate Project Manager (Level 4) apprenticeship.
