SPT is now entering a period of significant transformation. Major programmes such as Bus Reform and Clyde Metro and Buchanan Bus Station masterplan represent some of the most ambitious transport initiatives ever undertaken in the West of Scotland.

Together, they will reshape how public transport is planned, governed, and delivered, placing passengers, communities and long-term sustainability at the heart of decision-making.

This is an organisation with a strong public service ethos, a collaborative culture and a growing national profile. For professionals who want to work at scale, influence long-term outcomes and help deliver meaningful change, SPT offers a uniquely compelling environment.
