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.

Provide direction and leadership by actively engaging and managing regional challenges which have different needs, geographies, and transport maturity by providing scrutiny and guidance on the decision-making process. Whilst there will be a consistent national approach, there is a need to actively engage and manage challenges arising from regions having different needs, geographies and transport maturity. Accountable for a one team approach and delivery of programmes within the Regional portfolios by managing established risks and opportunities, as well as scanning the horizon to capture and mitigate emerging risks and issues, along with opportunities, to ensure TfW meets Welsh Government requirements, including legislative and financial considerations. Act as an ambassador for TfW by attending and speaking at industry events, facilitating and working collaboratively with professional working groups to promote the profession and role of TfW. Through leadership and effective influencing, bring together the key strategic outcomes for transport integration in the regions by working with regional stakeholders’ groups to ensure there is a single agreed and prioritised transport plan that delivers improved access and integration across the region.

Who we’re looking for

A degree level qualification in transport planning, business management, engineering, science, other relevant discipline, or equivalent experience. Chartered member of a relevant professional discipline. Demonstrable experience of having worked in the Transport sector with experience of operating in a strategic leadership position. Experience of writing and communicating effective proposals to senior and governmental stakeholders including demonstrable experience of communicating technical information and influencing non-technical stakeholders.

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.
