About the role

Sustrans Scotland has an exciting opportunity for you to join us and influence real change in Scotland, to help drive our vision forward, a vision of a more sustainable future in transport that has never been more relevant.

As the Network Delivery Manager, you will lead on infrastructure-related targets to grow and fix Scotland's National Cycle Network, in line with our Paths for Everyone Vision. You will oversee, commission and track progress of internal teams (Network Development, Places for Everyone and Design and Engineering) and delivery partners (i.e. local authorities and National Parks).

Reporting to the Head of Programme, Network Development, you will lead a small team of Network Delivery Coordinators and ensure agreement and delivery of their objectives.

You will build and manage internal and external relationships with key people in non-departmental public bodies, those within local authorities and professional bodies.

We offer true hybrid working, a flexible mix of working from home and occasional travel to a nearby office hub. Candidates should be based within the geographical area with regular travel expected to a nominated hub base in Edinburgh or Glasgow.

About you

You will be experienced in leading, motivating, and managing a team, with the capacity to support and develop others to the best of their abilities.

You will be able to build relationships with ease, bringing with you experience of working cross-organisationally and across multiple sectors.

With demonstrable experience of delivering infrastructure projects, you will have a working background within the transport, transport consultancy or construction sectors. Your knowledge of local and regional transport planning authorities and processes in Scotland will help you advocate for sustainable transport and better places across the region.

You must be a skilled communicator with good stakeholder engagement skills, as you will play a key role in overseeing contracts and agreements with delivery partners and external contractors.

Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.
