About Us
Our Greenwich Plan sets out our vision for the next 4 years, focusing on the changes we collectively want to see in our borough and Council. We want to become a more strategic, efficient, and adaptive organisation, to deliver for our communities. Our workforce is key to making this happen.
Royal Greenwich is a borough synonymous with first-class modern services. Our vibrant, diverse communities span Greenwich town centre in the west, to Thamesmead in the east, from the Greenwich Peninsula in the north to Eltham in the south. Royal Greenwich has a reputation for combining ambition with delivery. We are on a journey towards a low-carbon future, and the sustainability agenda will influence all areas of the Council’s work.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the Council’s ambitions for our future transport network, implement high-profile schemes, and maintain a strong grip on the delivery of key projects.
To be successful in this post, you will be as comfortable with strategy as you are with leading large operations. You will need to bring energy, tenacity, and strong communication skills. You will thrive on data and evaluation to evidence and inform delivery and service improvements.
Above all, you’ll be committed to delivering an efficient, well-connected network that our residents love – with a carbon footprint that we can be proud of, as well as delivering the council's Transport Strategy.
