Join the TP&E board
We are currently recruiting directors to our board.
About the role
The role requires your time and commitment on a regular but not too frequent basis. The social enterprise requests a quarterly Board Meeting online or face to face where the previous quarter’s work is discussed in full.
Where required, further meetings are held to discuss urgent items that require addressing between board meetings. Annually there is a board site day, where we encourage board members to come and visit a site to meet clients; enjoy the routes that have been recently delivered; and celebrate the success of the business. This gives the Board an opportunity to fully understand the nature of TP&E’s work.
We are looking to recruit new board members who support our vision: for Scotland to have a transport network and built environment that meets the needs of all users, and in which cycling and walking are positive travel and leisure choices rather than secondary considerations.
How to apply
Deadline for applications: Tuesday 3rd June 2025 12pm
Interview date: week commencing 9th June 2025
Potential candidates are invited to submit a one-page statement to info@tpande.org. Please include 'FAO Chair Stuart Knowles or Head of TP&E Rowena Colpitts' in the subject line.
In your statement, please include details of:
- Relevant skills and experience
- Commitment to TP&E’s vision
- Rationale for applying to join the Board
I feel like I have an impact and play an influential role in the outcome of a project. You get to see your design come to life before your eyes and then see people using it. I appreciate that it gives me a connection to the end user which engineers wouldn’t always get.
