Do you want to work for an organisation that values you as an individual? An organisation that will support your professional development?

What about an organisation that has Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at the heart of everything that it does?

How about an organisation that does all these things and more?

Then look no further than the West Yorkshire Combined Authority

We currently have a vacancy for 2 Project Officers to join our Transport Partnerships team.

It is an exciting time to be joining the Mayoral Combined Authority.

We have a wide variety of exciting projects that we are working on which will help shape the West Yorkshire region.

In 2021 the £1.8bn devolution deal was secured for West Yorkshire.

This meant the first Mayor of West Yorkshire was subsequently elected, with Tracy Brabin taking up post in May 2021.


The devolution deal and election of the Mayor has enabled us to start to drive up living standards for local communities while tackling the climate emergency and helping to deliver our commitment to become a net zero carbon city region by 2038.

The Role:


These posts are within the Transport Partnerships team in the Transport Policy and Delivery Directorate and will report into Programme Managers.


The Combined Authority has secured funding to deliver transport improvements through multi-year funding settlements such as the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, Levelling Up Fund and Active Travel Fund as well as existing settlements like the West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund.


The key responsibilities are but not limited to:

  • Supporting transport project delivery with our partner councils.
  • Work in partnership with our five local authority partners.
  • Lead on distinct work packages within project delivery.
  • Represent the Combined Authority at project meetings and site visits.

You will have the following key skills, attributes, education and experience:

  • Understanding of project management methodologies in a medium to complex infrastructure environment.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
  • Experience on managing multiple workstreams simultaneously.

  • Generous Employer-Contribution Pension Scheme
  • Free Travel on rail and buses across West Yorkshire with the M-Card (Zones 15)
  • Flexible Working Practices with Health & Wellbeing initiatives to ensure you achieve the best work/life balance and career goals.


We have also recently undergone a major office refurbishment and have bright, airy, modern office space, with all latest technology, and just a 2-minute walk from Leeds Railway Station.


We also have agile working options too if you would rather work from home, or another suitable location, as well as a generous flexi-time scheme.
