Salary: £35,500 - £44,500

Band: 2

Contract type: Permanent

Hybrid working within this role enables a balance of 50 per cent of time split between the office and home over a 4-week period. Hybrid working arrangements can evolve subject to business requirements.

All offers of employment are subject to satisfactory right-to-work checks. Candidates must be able to demonstrate their right to work in the UK. At the present time TfL is unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

Overview Of Project/Role

Maintain good working relationships with the supply chain to deliver operational activities taking place in an allocated region on a day-to-day basis. Ensure that network assets are safe, fit for purpose, maintained to a consistent standard and provide a comprehensive, customer-focused service. Surface Transport operates 24/7, so occasional out-of-hours work may be required by mutual agreement, with TOIL applicable.

Key Accountabilities

  • Deliver day-to-day regional operations with in-house teams, suppliers and contractors to provide a cost-effective, responsive and resilient service.
  • Protect and improve operational performance within the region to achieve scorecard objectives.
  • Discharge statutory obligations as the Highway and Traffic Signals Authority and comply with relevant legal and health and safety requirements.
  • Maintain effective stakeholder relationships, including Boroughs.
  • Provide operational input into schemes and projects to ensure quality and efficiency.
  • Support the management of minor works and events through site inspections and quality checks.
  • Participate in knowledge sharing and capability building across the team.
  • Develop working knowledge of the regional network, proactively manage risks and identify opportunities.
  • Assist with incidents and emergencies to ensure safety, minimise disruption and protect assets.
  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders and attend site when required.
  • Participate in an on-call duty roster if required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
