Arup's purpose, shared values, and collaborative approach have set us apart for over 75 years, guiding how we shape a better world.
The Opportunity
Our Cities, Planning and Design group works alongside our Property and Transport Infrastructure teams, providing advice and experience in key areas like Transport, Placemaking, Economics, Town Planning, Project Management, and Digital Transformation. We're involved with a diverse range of clients across many markets and sectors. Join us in the Cities, Planning and Design group in the West and Midlands region, where you'll play a crucial role in one of our largest teams outside London. You can be based in Bristol or Cardiff, and you'll be at the heart of our growth and success, helping us win new business and deliver exciting projects.
We're looking for a forward-thinking and data-driven person who is an integral part of the development and placemaking jigsaw, assisting senior leaders and managers in bringing value through technical excellence - connecting places and improving lives. The individual will be involved in a range of projects including but not limited to planning for a range of transport modes (walking, cycling, public transport, highways, and aviation), planning for development, transport interchange, and major events. Although based in the Cardiff or Bristol office, there will be a requirement to interact with colleagues across the other West and Midlands offices as well as less frequent interaction with other Arup offices nationally and internationally.
Is this role right for you?
In this role, you will work with transport consulting colleagues in the West to support projects, deliver tasks, and enable future growth. You will work with various data sets to produce data-driven domain insights and communicate results in an accessible format, and build on the existing team developing their data-driven approach to projects, including visualising data to a less technical audience. You will have an understanding of different transport models and how they come together on projects for an integrated transport solution; this will include familiarity with relevant policies and design guidance and knowledge of various transport-related tools and modelling software.
* A transport planning professional with a degree in a related subject.
* Competent at spreadsheet analysis (Excel) and spreadsheet-based models and comfortable working with spatial data using tools like ArcGIS Pro or QGIS.
* A track record in supporting project delivery.
* Knowledge or an interest in developing digital skills using Python or FME.
* Would ideally have an understanding of public transport data formats (i.e., GTFS) and working with tools such as Podaris or TRACC.
