Make an Impact: In our compact team, your contributions are immediately recognized and valued. You’ll have the chance to collaborate closely with senior leadership and clients, directly influencing both projects and the direction of the business.

Diverse Opportunities: Unlike large corporations with narrowly defined roles, this consultancy offers a broader scope of experience in transport planning, allowing you to develop a wide array of skills. We actively support your pursuit of professional qualifications and work with you to address any skill gaps.

Build Meaningful Relationships: Develop strong, long-term relationships with colleagues and clients. Our close-knit team environment encourages collaboration and mentorship, helping you advance both professionally and personally.

Flexibility and Innovation: Enjoy a more agile work environment where decisions are made swiftly, and new ideas are welcomed and acted upon. We offer flexibility in how you work, ensuring that you can balance client needs with a healthy work-life equilibrium.

Long-Term Growth and Stability: Many of our team members have been with the consultancy for many years, benefiting from the growth opportunities available within the business. Our focus on professional development ensures you can reach your potential, grow alongside our clients, and enjoy a sustainable work-life balance.

Fun and Engagement: We believe in enjoying our work. Our lively social calendar and regular team events create an enjoyable atmosphere where you can form strong connections with your colleagues. We foster a positive, inclusive workplace where every contribution is celebrated.

Your Role:

• Preparing technical reports, including Access Appraisals, Transport Statements, Transport Assessments, Travel Plans, and Walking, Cycling, and Horse-Riding Assessment and Reviews.
• Conducting junction capacity modeling and CAD design work.
• Engaging with stakeholders, external project teams, and clients.
• Representing the company at meetings, public consultations, and exhibitions.
• Performing site visits.
• Collaborating with our Environmental teams in the creation of Construction and Environmental Management Plans, as well as Noise and Vibration Assessments, including assisting with site monitoring.

What We’re Looking For:

• Qualifications – A degree in a relevant field (Geography, Civil Engineering, Mathematics, Planning, Transport Planning) is preferred, though not essential. Additional qualifications are a plus. Strong analytical and numerical skills are essential, along with proficiency in research and report writing.
• Experience – A minimum of two years in the transport planning industry, with a commitment to continuous professional development, such as achieving Transport Planning Professional (TPP) status.
• Personal Qualities – A combination of intellectual, professional, and interpersonal flexibility and agility. A pragmatic approach, with the ability to handle uncertainty and change. Strong observational and persuasive skills. The ability to clearly communicate complex issues to diverse audiences, both verbally and in writing, in a manner that is easy to understand and actionable. Excellent time management, multitasking, and decision-making abilities when faced with competing priorities.
