About the role

At Hammersmith & Fulham, we are ambitious in reforming the council to ensure this is a place for everybody.

We are looking for an experienced transport professional to join the Transport Development Management service and support a team of specialists.

As part of the team you will work closely with colleagues in Planning and coordinate the collective knowledge of divisions across the Place Department.   

At the forefront of influencing and negotiating with major developers and sponsors you will be a confident communicator, able to balance challenging demands and ensure the H&F Vision is achieved through development and major schemes. 

In this role you will be ensuring development in the borough aligns with our adopted policies and achieves the strategic objectives and aspirations of the Council.  You will be able to shape long term infrastructure and place setting through the development of guidance and influence policy decisions across Planning and Public Realm for the borough, all while ensuring development is managed and mitigates against impacts on the Transport and Highway network. 

We are seeking a highly motivated and committed individual to join our forward thinking and collaborative team.
