We need:

• Planners including those with specific Town Planning experience who can help us develop strategies and plans
• Numeric skills which could be developed into analytical traffic and transport modelling knowledge
• Civil Engineers who can carry out the initial design of road layouts and rail systems and can bring their engineering perspective into strategy and scheme developments.

• IT Specialists who can develop transport information systems
• Project Managers to assist in managing the wide range of programmes
• Environmental Scientists who can assist in environmental assessment of schemes and programmes
• Social and Behavioural Scientists who can work with consultation groups

And as well as these background skills we value many personal strengths such as creativity, enthusiasm, analytical capabilities and good communication skills.
