Joining Curtins means being part of a friendly team where your skills can grow, your career is supported, and we collaborate to create a lasting legacy.

The Role

Our South West Transport Planning team is seeking a Senior/Principal Transport Planner to join our growing team in Bristol. The role will include working on a wide range of projects, from higher education, renewable energy, commercial, retail, and residential, to developing transport strategies and supporting with expert witness evidence. We support private sector clients with taking development proposals through the planning process and support public sector clients with developing transport and parking strategies, business cases, and scheme development.

You will be responsible for leading and managing a diverse range of project types, which includes client liaison, financial management, and quality management. You will oversee multiple projects while managing team members involved in project delivery. Additionally, you will provide support to senior staff and work on developing your own business development and commercial skills.

The Right Fit

You will hold a chartered status in a transport-related field and have extensive technical knowledge and practical experience. Additionally, you will be a helpful mentor to others and have some exposure to people management responsibilities.

Experience in developing Transport Strategies, Infrastructure Delivery Plans, and parking strategies, including delegating resources, managing tight deadlines, and client liaison, is essential.
You will have expertise in access strategy work, parking strategies, and sustainable transport and be familiar with relevant agreements, such as S106 and S278, as well as guidelines like the NPPF and the DfT Transport Assessment guidelines.

You will be proficient in junction capacity modelling software, including Junctions 10 and Linsig. Additionally, skills in designing junctions and preparing traffic flow information for Transport Assessments are required.

Above all, the right fit will be guided by what is right when making decisions, who recognises the contribution of others and shares their successes. Someone who is kind, conscientious, and has pride in their work and the legacy our profession leaves for everyone.
