I'm working with a well-established, independent planning consultancy that's looking to strengthen its transport team with the addition of a Transport Planner. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work on high-quality development projects, gain exposure to a broad client base, and progress within a supportive, technically strong environment.

• Liaising with local highway authorities, clients, architects and planners
• Supporting senior team members on larger and more complex schemes

This role would suit a graduate or early-career Transport Planner, or someone at a more intermediate level looking to step up.

• A degree in Transport Planning, Civil Engineering, Geography or similar
• Experience working in a consultancy or local authority environment
• Familiarity with UK planning and development processes
• Working knowledge of tools such as Junctions 9/10, Arcady/Picady (or similar)
