The public sector makes routine calls on professional and private sector skills to develop transport policy. This extends to the stages of implementing and executing transport policy projects, too, as well as operational experience at management level.
Responding to a growing demand for project managers, engineers and consultants, logistics recruitment specialist BiS Henderson has set up a dedicated Public Sector Recruitment team to recruit the necessary skills for such work, since there is a requirement for qualified candidates with the necessary business development experience to deliver working projects.
With the company’s experience of working within consultancy, as well as collaborating with suppliers and contractors, clients are reassured that BiS Henderson candidates will go the extra mile.
The skills required vary widely and go beyond any pre-existing interest in public transport. BiS Henderson recruits civil
engineers, staff to manage traffic, plan future traffic needs and develop models that will predict future requirements. In addition there is growing interest in delivering sustainable travel and optimising for the future with intelligent transport systems.

The public sector is home to some ambitious modelling and planning projects, such as central government’s National Transport Model. This is the Department for Transport’s project to evaluate the likely consequences of changes in transport and network use across the country.
In the wake of Westminster’s national overview, local authorities have specific requirements to meet and a tight focus on their home territory. This does not mean that local authorities work on a small scale budgets, though.
Some city transport renewal recruitment programmes, are substantial. In the capital, for instance, Transport for London is committed to taking on 2,500 apprentices either internally or through its suppliers.
This autumn a dozen trainee quantity surveyors started their two-year programme of one day a week tuition and four days on the job in major London Underground refurbishment projects and Crossrail. The scheme is part of Mayor Boris Johnson’s commitment to creating 100,000 apprenticeships across the city by the end of 2012.
