Associate Transport Planner / Technical Director
Leeds

With a strong and established presence in the South, we are now investing in the North and we are looking for a driven, entrepreneurial transport planning leader to spearhead and grow our Leeds-based Traffic & Transportation team.

This is more than a technical role. It’s a genuine opportunity to build something, shape a regional offer, and become a key figure in our North and Midlands growth strategy.

The Opportunity

• Develop and lead a clear business strategy for the North and Midlands
• Build long-term, trusted relationships with private sector clients and key stakeholders
• Deliver technically robust, commercially astute advice across the full development lifecycle
• You will report to a Board Director and have the autonomy to lead your own projects, shape your team, and drive business development – backed by the full support of our wider national Transport Planning and Infrastructure teams.
• For the right individual, this is a platform to lead, influence and leave a legacy.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will provide multi-disciplinary transport planning advice across a diverse private sector portfolio, including:

• Pre-acquisition feasibility and due diligence
• Strategic site promotion and Local Plan representations
• Outline and detailed planning applications
• Transport Assessments and Statements
• Travel Plans
• Environmental Statement Transport Chapters
• Preliminary access and junction improvement designs
• Discharge of conditions and planning appeals

Alongside technical delivery, you will:

• Develop and implement a clear strategy for growing our Leeds team
• Identify and secure new business opportunities
• Prepare fee proposals and manage project finances
• Lead, mentor and recruit staff as the team expands
• Maintain and enhance our technical excellence in line with industry best practice

Who You Are

• Entrepreneurial and proactive
• Commercially aware and results-driven
• Technically strong with attention to detail
• Confident building networks and winning work
• Comfortable leading from the front
• Motivated to grow both a team and your own career
