Join us at Stockport Council Best for Inclusion winner at the Greater Manchester Good Employment Awards 2026

Your Role

Stockport has been recognised nationally as a great place to live and work. As a Senior Officer with the Programme and Project Management Team, you’ll play an important part in our ambition to develop transport infrastructure that is green, inclusive, resilient, and safe and helps to reduce air pollution and lower our overall carbon emissions. Stockport already boasts some of the best connectivity in Greater Manchester, with regular train links into both Manchester and London, as well as a fast-growing network of walking, wheeling, and cycling routes and state-of-the-art transport interchange. Our ambitious investment programme aims to make it easier and greener for people to travel around Stockport, connecting people with access to good job opportunities and all the sport, culture and leisure facilities the borough has to offer.

Working alongside experienced professionals as part of multi-disciplinary project teams you will play a vital role in managing the successful development and delivery of schemes throughout the whole project lifecycle from concept all the way through to hand over into operations and maintenance.

About You

We’re looking for an experienced project manager with a strong track record of project delivery. Previous experience within a civil engineering or transport-related environment will be an advantage, as will excellent communication skills and the ability to work to Council values.

About Us

You will be joining a committed, supportive and diverse team of staff, consultants and partner organisations. We are proud of what we achieve together, delivering sustainable infrastructure schemes which will shape the future of transport in Stockport. There will be opportunities to develop your own skills and career as you play a key role in supporting the delivery of projects alongside experienced professionals from across the service.

At Stockport Council we are one ambitious team on a mission to create opportunities for everyone who lives, works and spends time in the borough. Working at Stockport Council means contributing to one of the most thriving towns in the North. We’re keen to recruit people with the right values and behaviours that can help us ensure our workplace values are at the heart of everything we do.

We are proud to be recognised under the Good Employment Charter as an organisation committed to the wellbeing of our colleagues. As members of the charter, we have been recognised as a great place to work for all colleagues and pledge to pay the real living wage, engage staff in key decisions and endorse fair and flexible working conditions.
