Why Join Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority?

Joining the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) offers the opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking organisation with real influence over regional development. The CPCA is responsible for major areas such as infrastructure, transport, housing, skills, and economic growth across the region. Being part of the team means contributing directly to projects that have a visible and lasting impact on local communities and the wider economy.

As a devolved authority led by a directly elected mayor, the CPCA holds unique powers and responsibilities. This includes control over significant budgets and decision-making authority on regional transport, housing, and economic planning. The chance to work within such a progressive model of governance means contributing to ambitious strategies that help shape the future of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Collaboration is at the heart of the CPCA’s approach. The organisation works closely with local councils, businesses, universities, and other stakeholders, encouraging innovation and shared solutions. Whether it’s delivering new housing, developing future skills through the University of Peterborough, or launching smart transport initiatives, the CPCA supports projects that bring sectors together to address regional challenges.

For professionals seeking growth, the CPCA provides a supportive environment for development. There are opportunities to lead or contribute to high-profile projects, gain exposure to strategic decision-making, and take advantage of professional training and networking. It’s an ideal setting for individuals passionate about public policy, economic development, planning, or infrastructure.

The Combined Authority is also committed to sustainability and inclusion. It is actively investing in net-zero initiatives, inclusive growth strategies, and ensuring rural and underserved communities are supported. This reflects a broader ambition to future-proof the region’s economy and create opportunities for all residents.

Located in one of the UK’s most dynamic regions, the CPCA serves both vibrant urban centres and rural areas. With global innovation hubs like Cambridge, key industries including life sciences and clean energy, and unique transport and housing needs, the region presents diverse and meaningful challenges. Working here provides the opportunity to develop initiatives that not only support local needs but also influence national policy.

In short, joining the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority means being part of a team that combines strategic ambition with local impact. It’s a place for people who want to help shape the future of a thriving and evolving region.
