Do you want to take a leading role in shaping the future of the Liverpool City Region? We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced professional to support the assurance of transport infrastructure projects to build a fairer, stronger, cleaner, connected vibrant city region where no one is left behind.

We are looking for people who are passionate about supporting the aims of the Combined Authority, who are self-starting, highly motivated, passionate about shaping the future of the city region, and show a willingness to go the extra mile.
