About the Role
We have a fantastic opportunity for a successful candidate to join the Innovation & Change Team in the Parking service area, a team that has been recognised as leading the drive towards decarbonisation and best value in local government, with a focus on progressive transport technologies.
Our project lifecycle approach means we are able to explore and assess best practice and innovative ideas from around Europe and deliver them in Nottingham. From scoping through to implementation and evaluation, our team ensures that benefits are realised for the people of our city.
Nottingham’s Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) was the first of its kind in Europe and has raised over £90 million to date, which has been reinvested into sustainable transport across the city and allowed us to secure inward investment of over £1 billion for transport improvements. The WPL has served as a catalyst for change and transformed Nottingham into a city which is recognised as a pioneer in tackling the climate crisis and urban deprivation. Alongside reducing harmful emissions, the scheme has helped to regenerate neighbourhoods; creating jobs, infrastructure and investment while reducing economic and health deprivation by improving access to employment, education and healthcare services.

This will include project planning, managing delivery schedules, financial management, stakeholder management, project governance, issue and risk management and reporting of programme and project information.
