Equal Opportunities

At Transport for Wales we value diversity. It makes us stronger, helps us understand our customers better, make better decisions and be more innovative. Everyone’s different and has their own perspective so we’re building a diverse team that mirrors the communities we serve. Through this we’re determined to be one of Wales' leading inclusive employers. We’re creating an inclusive transport network that everyone in Wales can be proud of.

Who we are 

At Transport for Wales, we’re on a mission to transform transport in Wales and make it fit for the future, whether that’s rail, bus, walking or cycling. We want to inspire a nation to change the way it travels, so that we all travel more sustainably and help to combat the climate emergency we’re all facing.

We’re an open and inclusive place to work, where everyone is welcome and our people are supported to reach their full potential. We want to create an environment where our people can grow and succeed. This is key to enabling us to deliver on the promises we’ve made to the people of Wales to build a sustainable transport network that meets their needs.

Role responsibilities

The Project Sponsor is the project lead for delivery and will engage with clients, operations and implementation teams to enable successful delivery of transport enhancement schemes into operation on behalf of Transport for Wales (TfW).

Act as the client representative, and informed point of contact for commercial and operational matters relating to the delivery of transport enhancement schemes by monitoring, partnering and communicating with project delivery teams for effective delivery. Track the alignment of the scheme against the programme business case by working across a portfolio of projects to mitigate project risks and ensure effective interface between schemes. Planning delivery of a project to its completion date by reviewing timelines months in advance to understand the potential challenges, for effective programme management. Deliver the transport projects by coordinating internal and external stakeholders and their requirements whilst maintaining services to our customer.

Who we’re looking for

Previous experience in project management with an understanding of project lifecycles. Experience of managing stakeholders, with the ability to communicate challenges and potential solutions. Demonstrable experience of planning, prioritising and consistently delivering work to a high standard and by the required deadline. Experience of leading and managing investment schemes. Experience of working across projects and identify interconnecting issues with other projects.

Welsh Language Skills

The ability to speak/write Welsh would make a great addition to your application, but it is not essential for this role.

Transport for Wales supports and promotes the use of the Welsh Language by employees and will encourage them to develop, improve and maintain their Welsh Language skills. We fully support our people who want to improve their Welsh language skills, and personal development for Welsh Language skills are offered in a variety of ways such as online learning, classroom courses and funding attendance at local community courses.
