It is imperative that you also have a good understanding of national and regional policy context, transport policy and regulatory frameworks.

As a confident communicator, you will have the ability to engage - in written and verbal format - with and influence a wide range of stakeholders, partners and senior colleagues alongside representing in public, professional and stakeholder forums.

Candidates will preferably have a relevant degree or equivalent level reached through experience.
