London's roads are some of the busiest in Europe and each day millions of people use them. Looking after above-ground transport in London is a big responsibility - one we share between many teams. Once you're on our scheme and involved in delivering major projects, you'll share it too.

You'll be involved in a range of projects such as:

• Traffic schemes
• Refurbishment
• Bus priority initiatives
• Transit schemes
• Walking and cycling schemes
• Maintenance and renewal of the Capital's roads

Placements

You'll work in a number of placements each lasting six months. Examples of these include:

• Capital Development team
• Project Management Centre  
• Programme Management Office
• Operational support
• Procurement
• Public Realm
• Potential external secondment to TfL's contractors

You'll also have the chance to work in placements across other directorates and areas within TfL.

Further education and professional studies

Whichever placement you're on, you can be sure that it's been designed to give you a better understanding of project management methodologies. You'll be encouraged to develop existing and new skills, and supported towards achieving the Associate of Project Management Professional Level (IPMA) Level D.
