Are you ready to lead transformative projects that will shape the future of public transport across South Yorkshire? Here at SYMCA, we’re on a mission to deliver a world-class, integrated transport network — and we’re looking for a passionate Project Manager to help make it happen.
As a Project Manager at SYMCA, you’ll take the lead on high-impact projects from concept to completion — delivering on time, within budget, and to the highest standards of quality and safety. You’ll play a key role in delivering our Capital Programme, either by managing your own projects or leading workstreams within larger programmes.
You will be working on our Bus Franchising Programme, helping to bring South Yorkshire’s bus network into public control by September 2027. This includes everything from depots and fleets to routes, fares, and service standards.
As Project Manager on the Network and Integration workstream, you will lead the development and rollout of the franchised bus network, coordinating a wide range of stakeholders and technical specialists to ensure the network is designed and successfully delivered. The role plays a key part in shaping a customer-focused network that provides reliable and attractive services that meet the needs of current and future passengers.
Interviews for this role are expected to take place on Tuesday 25 August.
About the roleKey responsibilities include:
You’ll be joining the Transport Development and Capital Delivery team delivering across three major portfolios:
We’re after someone who’s not just organised and detail-oriented, but also a great communicator and collaborator. You’ll have recent, hands‑on experience managing projects through every stage — from shaping the business case to final delivery — using robust controls and processes to keep things on track, on budget, and aligned with strategic goals.
You’ll be confident interpreting policies, strategies, and plans, and turning them into clear, compelling documentation — whether it’s a board report, a stakeholder update, or a public-facing summary. A strong customer focus and the ability to tailor your communication to different audiences will be key.
We’d especially love to hear from you if you have:
All colleagues have access to a Local Government Pension Scheme and the chance to be part of an organisation where you can really make a difference. Located in Sheffield City Centre, we are well-placed for transport links and encourage employees to take advantage of the active travel facilities. Work/life balance is extremely important to us here at SYMCA with our recognised family/friendly policies, genuine work flexibility, recognition, and shared success.
In addition to the above, some of our benefits include:
Our workforce is made up of a diverse community, where we all belong and feel part of something bigger. We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio‑economic background, religion and/or belief.
All employees are eligible to request Flexible Working arrangements from day one of employment as such all requests will be considered subject to operation requirements.
Where candidates share disabilities within the application process, if they demonstrate that they meet all essential criteria from the Role Profile within their application, they will automatically be invited to interview.
If you require any reasonable adjustments throughout the process, please contact or include within your application form detailing the adjustment and how it will assist in managing any barriers.
