Technician Network Management

Sheffield is a brilliant city – resourceful, inventive, welcoming – a place rooted in its history and ambitious for the future. Sheffield City Council is committed to making Sheffield a flourishing, sustainable and inclusive city. We are committed to sustainable growth and aim to be net zero carbon by 2030. To realise this vision we need a transport system where everyone can access opportunities without mobility constraints and people, as well as goods and services, can move around the city safely with minimum delay.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for driven and enthusiastic individuals to start a career in the Network Management Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) team here at Sheffield City Council.

As part of the Network Management team you will assist in developing Intelligent Transport Systems that:

Create integrated, reliable, and user-friendly public transport.

• Provide better, safer, active travel options.
• Enable fast, reliable movement of traffic between the city and other economic centres.
• Build resilience to attract investment and unlock development.
• Improve air quality and reduce our carbon footprint. 

The successful candidates will have a good grasp of current digital technology. They will demonstrate awareness of best practice, industry standards and competencies in transport. They will possess the ability to interpret legislation or policy and apply that appropriately in delivery of the service. They will have the ability to establish, maintain and develop effective working relationships, with customers, partners, stakeholders, and colleagues. They will confidently use information and communications technology to access, manipulate and communicate technical information. They will have experience of resolving problems with the best possible outcomes.

This is a great opportunity for candidates seeking to further their career in Engineering and new technology.

What we can offer you:

• We are a friendly, welcoming, and approachable team.
• You will be surrounded by knowledgeable and experienced colleagues, who are engaged and constructive.
• Regular development is encouraged – from formal qualifications to e-learning and webinars.
• There are opportunities for progression – both within Network Management and the wider City Transport service.

• Hybrid working (average 40% in the office), or office based.
• The option to purchase additional annual leave on top of a generous leave entitlement.
• Annual salary progression.
