Newcastle is getting ready to host UEFA EURO 2028, one of the biggest sporting events in the world. We’ll welcome hundreds of thousands of fans, put our city and region on a global stage, and reinforce Newcastle’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading cities for major events.

We want Newcastle to be the most welcoming and connected Host City, celebrating our people, sharing the best of Newcastle and the North East with the world, and creating a legacy long after the final whistle. 

Newcastle City Council is building a dynamic team to make UEFA EURO 2028 happen, and we're looking for an outstanding Mobility Coordinator to help plan and deliver how people move safely, efficiently and confidently throughout the tournament.

From fans arriving in the city to residents making their regular journeys, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the experience of everyone who visits, lives and works in Newcastle during UEFA EURO 2028.

This is a once-in-a-generational opportunity to help shape and deliver one of the city’s most significant transport and mobility operations, ensuring Newcastle is welcoming, accessible and connected while creating a positive and lasting legacy for residents, businesses and visitors. 

The role 
As Mobility Coordinator, you'll support the planning and delivery of Newcastle's Host City Mobility Programme, helping ensure that all spectator, workforce and operational transport arrangements are safe, effective and fully integrated across the tournament. 

You’ll be working closely with the Host City Operations Manager and multiple partners across the city and region in this fast-paced role to help develop and deliver the Host City Mobility Concept.  

You'll coordinate mobility planning across a wide range of operational areas, including traffic management, road closures, parking controls, transport operations, fan movement, wayfinding and accessible travel provision. You'll also help develop contingency plans, manage operational risks and support live event operations during tournament delivery. 

You'll also play an important role in promoting sustainable travel, championing accessibility and helping deliver a lasting legacy long after the final whistle. 

About you 
Are you someone who enjoys solving complex logistical challenges and working with multiple organisations to deliver a shared plan? 

You’ll already have experience planning transport or mobility operations for major sporting events, festivals, public events or other large-scale operational environments where safety, coordination and customer experience were essential to success. 

You'll understand how transport, highways, crowd movement and event operations connect together, and be confident working with a wide range of stakeholders including transport operators, local authorities, emergency services, contractors and venue partners to create accessible and inclusive journeys ensuring everyone can move around the city safely and with confidence. 

You'll be highly organised, analytical and proactive, with the ability to balance long-term planning with the reality of live operations.  

Most importantly, you'll understand that great events depend on great planning. You'll recognise that every successful journey and positive visitor experience contributes to the tournament's success and to Newcastle's reputation hosting major events. 

If you're motivated by purpose, thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and want to help deliver this once-in-a-generation event for Newcastle and the North East, we'd love to hear from you. 

Why join us? 
This is a rare opportunity to help deliver one of the biggest sporting events ever hosted in the North East, shape how people move through Newcastle during the tournament, contribute to the city’s long-term ambitions, and play an important role in how we welcome the world to Newcastle. 

If you are successful we will undertake additional recruitment checks which will include a check to see if you have any unspent criminal convictions.
