Job Description
Job Title: Assistant Transport Planner
Location: UK (some hybrid / flexible working)
Salary: Competitive - depending on experience
The Role
A well-established, UK-wide transport-planning & infrastructure consultancy is seeking an Assistant Transport Planner to join their growing team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone early in their career (or with 1-3 years' experience) who wants to develop their technical skills, work on a varied portfolio of development-projects and build toward a wider transport-planning career.
Key Responsibilities
Support senior planners in undertaking transport / highway-assessments, feasibility studies and input to planning-submissions.
Assist with the preparation of travel-demand assessments, traffic flow forecasts, trip-generation work and transport statements.
Help collate, analyse and present data (e.g., pedestrian/cycle counts, junction turning-movements, travel surveys).
Perform modelling/spreadsheet work, assist with reports, drawings and appendices.
Liaise with internal teams (design, highways, sustainability) and external stakeholders (local authorities, highway-engineers, consultant-teams).
Ensure work is compliant with current standards (e.g., national planning policy, local transport authority guidance) and that modelling/assessments are technically robust.
Support the senior transport planners by preparing draft outputs, responding to queries, tracking amendments and keeping project documentation up to date.
What you'll bring
A degree (or equivalent) in transport planning, civil engineering, geography, or a related discipline.
Ideally 1-3 years' experience in transport planning, highways consultancy or traffic modelling (but strong graduates with relevant internships or experience will also be considered).
Good numerical and analytical skills - comfortable working with spreadsheets, data sets and fundamental highway/transport modelling.
Strong written and verbal communication skills - able to present clearly to internal teams and help prepare reports for clients and planning authorities.
An organised, proactive mindset: you'll be working across multiple projects, so you'll need to prioritise, stay on top of deadlines and follow guidance from senior staff.
An interest in sustainable transport, active travel (walking/cycling) and how transport integrates with land-use, planning and infrastructure design.
Team-player mindset: you'll be working in a consultancy where collaboration matters.
What the Client offers
Exposure to a broad range of development-types from residential, employment, mixed-use, infrastructure schemes through to appeal/support-work: good variety & scope.
Mentoring and career-path opportunities: the ability to grow into a fully-fledged Transport Planner role.
Hybrid/flexible working: a mix of office time and home working, with regional offices across the UK.
A supportive, professional yet collegiate working environment: a consultancy with strong values of integrity, innovation and sustainability.
