Role

This is an exciting opportunity to work with Sustrans as part of the Paths for Everyone Strategy to shape and develop the future vision for the National Cycle Network in Scotland.

As Network Development Manager for NCN Planning, you will work closely with councils and partners to identify and initiate projects that will fix and grow the National Cycle Network in Scotland. You will undertake and assist in the population of the project pipeline across Scotland by determining projects for investment, managing them through the feasibility stage, and liaising with local authorities and other partners to design proposals.

Contributing to Paths for Everyone, your day-to-day work will involve dealing with network queries from the public, councils, and interest groups, so you will build and manage internal and external relationships.

This role will require travel and work at locations across Scotland as necessary to undertake projects on behalf of Sustrans.

About you

You should have experience of transport planning or a related subject, effective negotiation skills, and experience working with stakeholders and the public sector.

You will be skilled in advocacy, project management, and implementation. You will have the ability to research and produce reports, as well as coordinate activities with the wider NCN team and across the organization.
