About Us

Shape the Future of Urban Mobility!

We are seeking a solution-focused Transport Planner to design and deliver integrated, society-centric, sustainable transport systems that make cities safer, more accessible, and less congested. You will play a key role in creating multimodal networks that connect communities and support economic growth.

We are looking for a client-focused problem-solver who thrives on tackling complex transport challenges using practical, results-driven solutions grounded in strong planning principles and critical thinking.

About the Role

• Develop comprehensive transport masterplans covering roads, rail, public transit, and active mobility modes (walking, cycling).
• Conduct traffic impact assessments for land-use developments and recommend mitigation measures such as signal optimisation, road upgrades, and transit enhancements.
• Analyse transport and travel demand data to forecast mobility needs and evaluate multi-modal solutions.
• Collaborate with government agencies, developers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure transport systems are efficient, inclusive, and future-ready.
• Translate complex analysis into clear reports, visualisations, and actionable recommendations.
• Advise on policies to reduce private vehicle dependence, improve connectivity, and minimise environmental impact.

What do we need from you

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, Urban or Transport Planning (Master's preferred).
• 7-10 years of professional experience in transport planning and traffic engineering.
• Strong expertise in transport modelling, data analysis, and GIS tools (e.g., ArcGIS).
• Proven project management skills with the ability to lead teams and coordinate stakeholders.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Familiarity with road safety principles, quality assurance processes, and technical report preparation.
• Professional membership (CIHT, ICE, TPS) or chartership preferred.
• Familiarity with advanced transport modelling tools (VISUM, Synchro, SIDRA, EMME, HCS) to support evidence-based planning and scenario testing is a plus.
• Willingness to travel within Saudi Arabia and the region, and adapt to diverse cultural environments.
