Are you an experienced Senior Transport Planner looking for a fully remote opportunity with a well-established consultancy working across some of the UK's most interesting development, infrastructure and energy projects?
I'm working with a highly respected built environment and infrastructure consultancy that is looking to strengthen its Transport Planning team with an experienced Senior Transport Planner.
The role offers the chance to work on a diverse portfolio of projects, with a particular focus on energy, infrastructure, commercial and residential developments, while working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
The Role
You'll be involved primarily in the early stages of projects, from site feasibility through to planning submission, with opportunities to broaden your experience across public-sector work, policy, research, innovation and stakeholder engagement.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing Transport Assessments and Transport Statements
Supporting Traffic & Transport chapters for Environmental Impact Assessments
Working on large-scale energy and infrastructure projects, including renewable energy developments
Undertaking site visits, feasibility studies and transport due diligence
Carrying out junction assessments using ARCADY, PICADY and LINSIG
Developing access strategies, internal layouts and highway mitigation proposals
Working in accordance with DMRB, Manual for Streets and relevant local standards
Acting as a key point of contact for transport matters across projects
Liaising with clients, architects, multidisciplinary teams, local authorities and other stakeholders
Managing project budgets, programmes and resources
Supporting tenders, fee proposals and business development activities
About You
We're looking for an experienced Transport Planner who can work independently while contributing effectively within a wider multidisciplinary team.
You'll ideally have:
A degree in Civil Engineering, Transport Planning, Geography or a related subject
Strong experience within transport planning and development planning
Hands-on experience with ARCADY, PICADY and LINSIG
Experience producing Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, EIAs and CTMPs
A strong understanding of UK transport planning guidance and planning policy
Experience working with private-sector clients, developers or landowners
Good understanding of DMRB and Manual for Streets
Strong communication and report-writing skills
Good commercial awareness and experience managing projects to budget and deadline
Progress towards, or achievement of, professional accreditation such as CEng, TPP or equivalent would be advantageous
Experience within energy, renewables or major infrastructure projects would be particularly beneficial, although candidates from a broader development planning background will also be considered.
What's on Offer?
Competitive salary
Fully remote working
Flexible working arrangements
Excellent benefits package
Opportunity to work on major energy, infrastructure, commercial and residential projects
Exposure to both private and public-sector clients
Strong technical support and mentoring from experienced senior professionals
Excellent training and professional development opportunities
Support towards professional qualifications
A collaborative and progressive working environment
Opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth of the Transport Planning team
If you're an experienced Senior Transport Planner looking for a genuinely flexible role with exposure to interesting projects across development, energy and infrastructure, I'd be keen to speak with you.
