In March 2021 the Government published **Bus Back Better - The National Bus Strategy for England**. The Strategy focuses on Transport Authorities and the Bus Companies entering into formal Enhanced Partnerships to better bus services.

East Sussex County Council has published a very ambitious **Bus Service Improvement Plan** (BSIP), in partnership with the Bus Companies that will be used by the East Sussex Enhanced Partnership to provide a better bus offer for residents, visitors, and businesses. The ambitions include more frequent services, a better rural transport offer, reduced fares, low and zero emission vehicles, improved bus infrastructure and improved information provision.

Our mission as a local transport authority and as bus operators, is to ensure that East Sussex residents and visitors enjoy the highest possible quality bus services that provide:

- a frequent and comprehensive choice
- reduce congestion

As the Project Officer you will report to the Principal Transport Officer of the Bus Team.

**Key Skills**:

- Project management - ability to organise, plan, meet targets and deliver projects on time and on budget. Ability to plan over the long term, making effective judgements to meet deadlines and objectives.
- Highly developed communication and interpersonal skills to interact effectively with a range of senior partners and create and maintain effective working relationships. Including the ability to influence them to make appropriate decisions to ensure projects are completed within the parameters set.
- Sound and accurate IT skills for word processing, analysing and researching data and creating presentations, and the ability to investigate and troubleshoot problems and provide solutions.

Qualifications and/or experience:

- Significant project management experience.
- Experience and understanding of public transport.
- Experience of delivering high profile projects.
- Management of large-scale budgets.
- Management and development of teams of staff delivering key projects.
- Significant experience of negotiation in complex areas with a large numbers of stakeholders.
- Report writing experience, including for senior / political reports.

As an employer we recognise that it is our employees that are central to everything we do. We aim to create a supportive and dynamic working environment where employees can achieve their full potential, achieve a healthy work-life balance and are rewarded for the work they do.
