Equal Opportunities

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.

  • Maintain clarity of the financial position of complex transport schemes by undertaking client and funder engagements and working closely with the project delivery teams to identify potential changes in budget requirements to be able to time, cost and quality.

  • Experience of effective stakeholder management with conflicting stakeholder approaches.
  • Experience of leading and managing complex investment schemes.
  • Experience of preparing and managing sizeable budgets.
  • Experience of working across projects and identify interconnecting issues with other projects.
