About the Council

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council is a forward-thinking, community-driven organisation committed to delivering exceptional public services. As a council, we pride ourselves on fostering a culture of innovation, inclusivity, and collaboration, where employees are our most valuable asset. Our mission is to provide high-quality services that meet the needs of our residents and ensure Stockport remains a thriving place to live, work, and visit. With a strong focus on modernising services and achieving long-term sustainability, Stockport Council values creativity, ambition, and a strong team spirit in everything we do.

About the Role

As the Head of Service Sustainable Transport and Mobility, you will take on a pivotal leadership role within Stockport Council. This is a career-defining opportunity for an impactful and forward-thinking individual to shape the future of transportation across the borough. You will be responsible for managing and overseeing a range of critical areas, including network management, scheme feasibility, traffic management, and transportation strategy and policy. With a £12m annual budget and supporting delivery of a £70m capital programme, you will lead on delivering key infrastructure projects that enhance the borough's connectivity and sustainability.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage and oversee network management, scheme feasibility, traffic management, and transportation strategy and policy
  • Lead on delivering key infrastructure projects that enhance the borough's connectivity and sustainability
  • Develop and implement transportation strategies that align with the borough's strategic priorities
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders, including TfGM and GMCA, to ensure transportation projects align with regional goals
  • Build and develop a strong, collaborative workforce, with five direct reports and a team of approximately 60 full-time employees
Requirements

We are looking for someone who can think creatively, challenge the status quo, and lead the shift towards a more sustainable and people-centred approach to transportation. A professional qualification in engineering, transport planning, or a related field (e.g., MICE, CIHT, RTPI, or MAPM) is highly desirable, but we are open to candidates with equivalent experience from both the public and private sectors.

What We Offer

This is an exciting opportunity to join a council that is at the forefront of change, with the chance to lead a service that will have a lasting impact on the borough and its residents. If you are an ambitious, creative, and confident leader looking for a new challenge, we would love to hear from you.
