Position title

Graduate Transport Planner
Ideal for a Geography graduate

Description
Are you a Geography graduate with a particular interest in how transport routes are planned?

This small but ambitious sustainability consultancy works is looking for a graduate to join their Traffic and Transportation team.

The starting salary may not be the highest, but that is just to start; you will receive regular reviews and pay rises when in the role.

Graduates have previously joined the team and done very well.

The workload is varied and includes work on retail outlets, schools, medical sites, residential developments, sports clubs, and more. For example looking at transport infrastructure, cycle routes, and bus routes.

You will be working directly with the head project manager, and will receive extensive training.

There will also be the opportunity to work towards accreditation with a professional industry body such as The Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation.

The workload will include transport statements and assessments, travel plans, speed survey reports. Also on occasion helping with the preparation of proposals and tenders.

The ideal degree would be Geography, as around 75% of Transport Planners fit this profile, though other degrees with an element of town planning, or civil engineering, may be considered.

You will be working to deadlines, so it can be challenging. Analytical and research skills are required, you will be working with lots of data. Experience with GIS would be a definite advantage.
