  • A self-starting attitude and a drive to keep learning

Bonus points if you’re working towards TPS PDS or already have it, and if you’ve got local client connections in the South West.

  • A friendly, supportive team and a lively social calendar
  • Competitive salary and great benefits (your annual leave increases with time)
  • Flexibility to work the way that suits you best
  • A development plan tailored to you—including mentoring and support toward Chartership via the Transport Planning Society
