Job Reference - TR-002067

We’re looking for a dynamic Senior Transport Planner to join our Practice in either Epsom or Aldershot to work across London and the South East. We’re an established successful team with a well-balanced blend of skills, and are looking for an enthusiastic individual to add further value to our offer to the marketplace.
The role is an opportunity to be engaged in technical delivery of a wide range of projects and support business development functions whilst assisting junior members of the team to ensure timely project delivery. It offers excellent career prospects to an ambitious and hard working individual who ideally has a broad background in transport planning which they now wish to expand through exposure to a wide range of clients and working on nationally recognised projects as well as more local ones.

It is expected that the role will include potential for engagement on a mixture of the following, dependant on skill set and career aspirations:
o Leading and project management of Transport Assessments and Studies.
o Feasibility, Public Realm and Corridor Studies.
o Undertaking analysis using spreadsheet and modelling software.
o Spatial Planning and development management.
o Supporting business development functions and facing clients.

It will be expected that the Senior Transport Planner will be conversant in forecasting software, census data and junction modelling software; the role will also require a willingness and ability to develop junior members of staff in the application of these tools.

The team forms part of the wider national City Spaces & Development Planning practice, offering services to both private and public-sector Clients for our offices in the UK. The overall team has a wide-ranging capability: from site feasibility and masterplanning, through to planning and then detailed design and assessment. The multi-disciplinary nature of the business also means that we are able to work as part of an in-house project team to offer clients a true ‘one stop shop’ for the planning, design and delivery of infrastructure projects.

The team has a strong pipeline and solid presence within the marketplace. Our Practice is involved in a number of high profile projects with a variety of clients both in the UK and overseas and our current portfolio of works comprises a diverse mix of local, national and international development and public realm projects. We also provide specialist input to a range of strategic rail, highways, aviation and other infrastructure projects drawn from across the business.

Key clients include Highways England, Network Rail, Hampshire County Council, Surrey County Council, LB Harrow, London City Airport, Heathrow Airport and The Crown Estate.

Join us and your creativity and technical skills will enrich thousands of lives through your work. Collaborating with specialists from across our business as part of multidisciplinary teams, you’ll help to transform towns, cities and transportation. You’ll present your plans, build strong client relationships and turn potential into reality.

The Individual

We seek a candidate that displays a sound awareness of the industry and demonstrable standard of technical competency to provide clients with complete confidence in our solutions, and the enthusiasm and passion to work with and assist in developing the next generation of specialists.

The candidate will also be willing to challenge themselves to gain experience on a wide range of transport planning projects across the consultancy practice.
