Job summary
Our transport system touches the lives of everyone in this country: it reunites families; takes millions of people to work every day; enables holidays; and keeps fresh food on the shelves of our supermarkets.� The government�s manifesto contains commitments, including investment, to improve transport infrastructure across the country. This is an incredibly exciting time to work for the Department for Transport (DfT).
The Department has a wide and varied agenda ranging from the delivery of large infrastructure projects such as High-Speed Rail, East West Rail and Lower Thames Crossing, through to shaping future transport innovations such as drones and driverless cars as well as developing airport capacity.�

In addition, there are opportunities to contribute to significant Supply Chain Management initiatives across the DfT Group and step outside of the Assurance role to support front line commercial delivery on major projects in road and rail.
The role will help the successful candidate build their commercial career and enhance their CV through involvement in complex, high value transport infrastructure projects.
The role sits within the Group Commercial Directorate, specifically in the Commercial Lifecycle Assurance (CLA) & Supply Chain Management (SCM) team and is a fantastic opportunity to become involved with our major projects and supply chains and to help ensure delivery of effective commercial strategies in support of UK growth.
