Role

We have a new and exciting opportunity to work with us as an Evaluation Officer, working as part of the Research and Monitoring Unit.

Sustrans’ Research and Monitoring Unit (RMU) is a leading centre of excellence in active travel research, monitoring and evaluation and we are recruiting now. As an Evaluation Officer, you will work on a range of behaviour change and infrastructure projects, providing monitoring, evaluation, and analytical support. The RMU plays an important part in supporting our vision by providing robust evidence on sustainable and active travel that ultimately influences and shapes policy, practice and behaviour across the UK.

Or the option to be primary based in one of our Sustrans RMU hubs in Bristol, Edinburgh, London or Newcastle. There is minimal travel required in this role, however in the course of your work you may have to travel to one of the nominated hubs or project sites if required to do so.

About you

You should have demonstrable quantitative and/or qualitative analytical skills, and be a competent Excel user or have working knowledge of statistical software, such as R.

You should be an excellent communicator in both oral and written forms with the ability to present data and findings clearly. You should also have the ability to find innovative and creative solutions to problems.

You should have some experience of project management as well as delivery of project monitoring and evaluation. You will also have some experience of working and communicating with partners and/or clients.
