We are looking for two full-time Assistant Transport Planners to join our Environment and Place service in the Infrastructure Planning Team.

Why Oxfordshire?:

Oxfordshire has a wonderful balance between beautiful Cotswold countryside and quaint villages and towns, against the urban dynamic of the world-renowned university City of Oxford and surrounding market towns.

It is a thriving county with one of the fastest growing economies in the country with a rapidly growing science sector in and around the county and is the base for many national and internationally recognised companies and organisations.

Oxford has good transport links to London and the rest of the country.

Oxfordshire is investing to deliver infrastructure and support the provision of up to 100,000 new homes, to re-shape infrastructure and provide diverse and smart transport solutions for all.

About us:

The Infrastructure Planning Team is part of the Major Infrastructure Delivery Service within Growth and Economy Directorate and supports the delivery of a half a £billion plus capital infrastructure programme over the coming years.

The programme is expected to run until 2031 and involves joint initiatives between the private and the public sector, providing an unparalleled opportunity to include yourself in a county-wide challenge.

Due to innovative joint initiatives between the private and the public sector, Oxfordshire County Council is playing its part in Economic Growth and Recovery plans, delivering on commitments to housing and jobs for future generations.

Now we are delivering the major infrastructure that was planned alongside this growth, creating unparalleled opportunities for great infrastructure and transport planners to join us.

About the role:

You will be undertaking a variety of Transport Infrastructure Planning activities to support the Council's objectives.

You will assist in the timely delivery of key transport infrastructure projects supporting the ambitious policies within the Local Transport and Connectivity Plan, as well as supporting the delivery of much needed housing and economic growth within the County.

About you:

You may have an interest in transport and delivery of new infrastructure to support new and existing communities and want to increase your experience and working knowledge of transport planning and delivering infrastructure.

An added benefit would be previous experience of Transport Planning with a private or Local Authority organisation but professional development is important to us and right person will be willing to learn and grow within the team.

Rewards and benefits:

It really is true that every single job role here contributes to bettering the lives of the people in our county - we want to do this for our employees too.

We are proud of our strong flexible working culture, including the opportunity for flexibility on working hours and the use of technology to support agile working.

We offer some of the best learning and development opportunities to support your ongoing development.

We have a generous holiday allowance which rises as you remain in employment with us up to 32 days, as well as giving you the option to buy additional holiday.

You will also have access to a Local Government Pension Scheme with employer contributions of up to 19.9% of your salary; a range of local and national retail discounts; and a host of enhanced family friendly policies including carers leave and paid time off for volunteering.
