Your experience with managing complex construction projects and your broad understanding of

several million pounds a year, ensuring the delivery of impactful programmes and projects on
the National Cycle Network, whilst aligning with Sustrans’ vision and Theory of Change.
You will draw on your experience and understanding of the principles of walking and cycling
network planning to support the team with the delivery and quality assurance of Local Cycling
and Walking Plans and feasibility studies for active travel routes.
You will help us be financially sustainable too, by taking a strategic approach to funding
opportunities. You will help us build relationships with landowners, local authorities, and
others, so that we can work in partnership to make things happen. As part of this, we are
working with local authorities to create a 20-year plan for the delivery of the NCN, which
involves aligning projects with local strategic priorities.

and the opportunity for home working, with flexible hours offered to suit individual
circumstances.
This role will require travel and work at locations as necessary to undertake the project on
behalf of Sustrans. You will be occasionally travelling across
England. Candidates should be based within a commutable distance of Southwest England.

You will be a brilliant team leader and will build relationships with ease, bringing with you
experience of working cross-organisationally and across multiple sectors.
With demonstrable experience of delivering projects and programmes, you will probably have
experience within the engineering, urban design, construction management, or land negotiation
sectors.
You must have a creative approach to finding innovative solutions, to help us in advocating for
sustainable transport and better places across the region.
You must be a skilled communicator with excellent negotiating skills, as you will play a key
role in leading your team in reshaping our towns, cities, and countryside in favour of active
travel.
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. Sustrans is committed to reducing
