Shape the future of connectivity across Westmorland and Furness by leading vital Highways, Transport and Infrastructure services that keep communities connected, enable economic growth, and create thriving places for residents, businesses and visitors.
- Angela Jones, Strategic Director of Communities, Place and Economy
Our highways and transport network is one of the most visible things we do. It connects our communities across a large and varied geography, carries millions of visitors into the Lake District every year, and keeps people and businesses moving in places where a single closure can make a real difference to daily life.
As Director of Highways, Transport and Infrastructure, you will lead that work, alongside our responsibilities for transport, active travel and flood and coastal risk management, and you will help us shape how these services look in the years ahead.
This role offers the chance to set the strategic direction for the service and to make the most of a substantial capital programme and increased government funding. Just as importantly, it is a role for someone who wants to be visible and close to the teams doing the work, from our offices in Barrow and Kendal to our depots across the area. With the Cumbria Combined Authority electing its first Mayor next year and devolution opening up real opportunity around transport and sustainable travel, this is a genuinely exciting time to join us and help shape what comes next.
