Panoramic Associates is proud to be working exclusively with Gloucestershire County Council to appoint a BSIP (Bus Service Improvement Plan) Programme Coordinator. This is a rare opportunity to lead a high–profile, transformational transport programme that directly impacts residents, communities, and the future of sustainable travel across the county.

About the Role:

Gloucestershire County Council has been awarded 8 million by the Department for Transport (DfT) to deliver the Bus Service Improvement Plan in 2025/26. In addition to the Council's existing 5 million transport budget, this funding will support a wide range of capital and revenue initiatives to revitalise the public transport network.

As the BSIP Programme Coordinator, you will be responsible for the end–to–end coordination of this extensive programme of works, including the introduction of new and enhanced bus services, targeted highway improvements to reduce journey times, and a variety of schemes designed to promote and increase bus usage across Gloucestershire.

You will bring:

Experience in managing or coordinating BSIP Programmes.

A solid understanding of local transport policy, funding, or service improvement

Previous Local Authority experience within a similar role

Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities

Knowledge of the Department for Transport's frameworks and the workings of local government (desirable)
