Key Responsibilities:

• To be prepared to be an occasional direct point of contact on project-related matters.
• To assist senior personnel in the identification of the necessary internal and external resources and skills required to fulfil the obligations of each and every commission to the budget and timescale agreed with the client.

• To have a full understanding of local and national planning policies and guidelines insofar as they relate to transportation and development.

Key Skills & Experience:

You will be expected to have excellent written and oral communication skills and able to delegate work and supervise and mentor more junior members of the team. This role would require at least 5 years relevant experience at a consultancy or local authority.

You will have excellent knowledge of the key principles and techniques of transportation planning and traffic engineering, as well as the ability to use the Microsoft Office suite of programs, including TRICS, CAD and swept path analysis.
