About the role

Based in Guildford, this is a hybrid role, allowing for some remote work alongside office-based collaboration.  You will work across a diverse range of projects, initially focusing on transport planning for development-led schemes.  Seeking someone who can confidently manage and deliver projects of varying scales with both public and private sector clients, requiring minimal supervision.  Strong communication skills – both written and verbal – are essential, as you will be expected to present ideas clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders.

We welcome candidates with:

• A degree (or higher) in Transport Planning, Civil Engineering, Geography, or a related field
• Significant experience in development-focused transport planning
• A proven track record of delivering Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans

• Excellent communication and client liaison skills
• The ability to mentor, manage and train junior staff
• Experience in contributing to, and leading, bids and financial proposals
• Strong project management skills
• Proficiency in industry-specific software (e.g. Junctions 9, LinSig, AutoCAD)
• While chartership with a relevant professional body would be beneficial, it is not essential.

• A modern and well-connected working environment
