Metro and Leeds City Council are working in partnership to develop a Trolleybus rapid transit system for Leeds known as NGT (New Generation Transport). The project represents a major investment of £250m in the City of Leeds. NGT will provide a high quality transport system that will help support Leeds' economy and improve the local environment by combating congestion. It aims, along with other transport and public transport measures, to provide a step change in the way public transport operates within the City.

We require two Projects Assistants to help support the successful delivery of the innovative NGT Trolleybus project, which is scheduled for opening in late 2018.

The duties for the Projects Assistant will be focused on helping to coordinate and facilitate the development of the scheme, across a wide range of areas which will include cost management, consultation as well as helping to take the scheme through the necessary planning processes. Further information on the NGT scheme can be found on the project website on www.ngtmetro.com.

Completed application forms should be submitted by noon on 17 August 2012 If you have not heard from us within 4 weeks of the closing date, please assume you have not been successful on this occasion.
