Hours per week: 36 Contract type: Fixed Term Contract (3 years) Interviews to be held: April 2026 Alternative flexible working options available / open to discussion About us Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study, and visit. Because we're not just home to UK's fast-growing economy. We're home to the most important conversations happening today. And we're making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here's where you can help decide a better future for us all. The Euston and King's Cross area, with transformational changes arising from HS2 and the Euston station redevelopment, alongside related programmes in the Somers Town and Regent's Park areas, help deliver the Transport Strategy as well as multiple other place-making and regeneration objectives. We have a fantastic opportunity for a highly organised and innovative Principal Transport Planner to join our multi-disciplinary team. The role This is a once in a generation opportunity to enhance and re-shape the Euston and King's Cross areas and play a key role in Camden's overarching objective to create a new piece of city at Euston, planned with the community at its heart. The post will have two key elements: transport planning for Euston station itself, and "Safe & Healthy Streets" projects, delivering transformational changes to streets on the Euston-King's Cross corridor. On the planning side, the post will lead transport input into the Euston Area Plan review process, and transport planning advice for the Euston Station Masterplan area which has the potential to deliver 1000s of new homes and jobs. The post will ensure that designs for the new stations at Euston ensure transport considerations are fully considered, including commentary on relevant pre-application and applications processes for both Euston station and Euston over-station development. On the projects side, the role will lead on developing and delivering schemes in the wider Euston hinterland, funded by the HS2 Road Safety Fund, with a particular emphasis on transformational walking and cycling improvements, including within the Regent's Park Safe & Healthy Streets project, leading delivery of consulted-on schemes on Albany Street (new cycling corridor) and in the "south" area with new traffic management and urban greening measures. The postholder will also project manage remaining transport schemes within the Somers Town Future Neighbourhoods project, such as completion of green mobility hubs, additional measures being delivered at multiple Healthy School Streets sites, and completion of the Greening Phoenix Road project. The role will also work closely with TfL and colleagues within Camden to deliver Healthy Streets improvements on the surrounding "TLRN" network, and leading delivery of Camden's Wellbeing Walk scheme to the south of Euston Road. The postholder will work across two services, sitting and reporting within the Transport Strategy Service, and working daily within the Euston Regeneration team. You will work with colleagues across the Council - including within planning, place and design, regeneration, sustainability, and inclusive economy - to ensure that neighbourhood-based Healthy Streets projects support and contribute to wider strategic initiatives, such as responding to the climate emergency and improving air quality. The postholder will manage a Senior Transport Planer, and leading a sub-team, in a pro-active, innovative, and dynamic way, helping deliver a portfolio of Healthy Streets projects and supporting with professional development of team members. About you To be successful in this securing this role you will have strong experience of successful project management and delivery of complex, area-wide traffic-reduction and heathy streets schemes. You will also have a strong understanding and experience of the policy and statutory framework within which the Euston Masterplan Healthy Streets, transport planning and related activities fit. You will be a pro-active and forward-thinking experienced project manager, capable of successfully managing initiatives, often over-lapping with one another, both on time and to budget. You will be able to demonstrate effective partnership working on transport matters related to the Euston project, and the ability to develop strong stakeholder relations, including across internal departments, and liaising and negotiating with all relevant external organisations including Transport for London, the Greater London Authority, other Boroughs and external partners/stakeholder groups, on behalf of the Council. You will be able to help prepare high quality papers and reports for Council Committees, public meetings, and other bodies such as appeals and public inquiries (may be required to attend such events as and when necessary). You will be able to demonstrate the ability to effectively help support and oversee the workload of more junior members of a team and/or consultants.
