Description

About the role

We are seeking a Transport Planner to join our dynamic Perth team, working on a range of exciting projects across WA. You will be responsible for complex problem solving, innovation, information analysis, report writing, and client engagement.

You will primarily work within the transport planning team in Perth and nationally, collaborating with some of Australia's leading traffic and transport experts.

Your role will also involve cross-disciplinary collaboration with our transportation team, including engineering, design, and analytics.

Day to day tasks would involve:

• Deliver transport planning and traffic engineering studies, including impact assessments and modelling.

• Support and manage projects across land development, infrastructure and urban precincts.

• Synthesise qualitative and quantitative evidence, combining data analysis with stakeholder insight and on-the-ground observation, to understand the full picture and shape well-rounded recommendations.

• Undertake transport policy research and interpretation, including contributing to policies, guidelines and standards.

• Prepare high-quality technical reports, proposals and client deliverables.

• Liaise with clients, local authorities and multidisciplinary project teams.
