You will have the ability to build effective working relationships at all levels of the organisation, present ideas succinctly to both engineers and non-engineering stakeholders; and represent TfL’s interests with external parties.

It is equally important that you bring a passion for innovation and sustainability to help us to support London’s transport needs and achieve our vision of being the strong, green heartbeat of London.
