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.

Develop a highly skilled contract and commercial management function for the TfW organisation by leading a team of subject matter experts and ensuring that early signs of contractual issues are identified and resolved effectively. Develop a collaborative supply chain network to ensure TfW's delivery partners and their supply chain are engaged, managed, and developed to meet current and future organisational requirements. Lead the ongoing development of an agile department, capable of meeting the needs and requirements of the wider TfW organisation by providing effective leadership and adapting the department to ensure the supply chain, procurement and commercial disciplines are fit for purpose.

Who we’re looking for

Member of RICS, ICM, CIPS or significant equivalent experience. Expert knowledge of commercial management disciplines preferably gained in major infrastructure management and construction industry. Demonstrable understanding of sustainable supply chain / contract management. Experience of developing and continuously improving the performance of an effective supply chain, procurement and commercial function. Experience of managing significant contractual disputes and using standard forms of dispute resolution to deliver a successful conclusion.

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.
