• Designing and undertaking qualitative and quantitative research.
• Understanding of equality, diversity and accessibility.
• Knowledge of UK infrastructure sectors.
• Knowledge of UK planning regimes.
• Strong track record of successful infrastructure project development.

The following experience and sector knowledge would be desirable but is not essential:

• Environmental impact assessment.
• Gender analysis and inclusion.
• Knowledge of the transport, water and energy sectors.
