Job description:

Local transport plays a key role in delivering transport infrastructure at a local level. The Local Infrastructure Delivery division delivers some of local transport most high-profile funds delivering benefits to millions of people.

The first 5-year settlements provide £5.7bn of funding from 2022/23 to 2026/27. Subsequently, a further £15.8bn of funding for the second CRSTS period running from 2027/28 to 2031/32 has been announced.

Lead on monitoring of CRSTS and individual cities' quarterly reports, providing delivery updates and providing input into relevant Boards. Feed into other workstreams and identify dependencies (such as financial forecasting) and ensure alignment.
Supporting CRSTS2 plans, including identifying scope, objectives and timings as well as forward thinking on how the fund will be managed identifying improvements from the current process. Seeking input from a wide range of stakeholders including DfT, HM Treasury and MCAs.
