We are a specialist design practice with an integrated approach to transport planning and engineering. As a leading independent consultancy, we are committed to creating better places through innovative and deliverable design solutions. With a growing portfolio of transport planning projects, we are seeking an experienced Transport Planner to join our team and help us meet this increasing demand.
About the role
Based in Guildford, this is a hybrid role, allowing for some remote work alongside office-based collaboration. You will work across a diverse range of projects, initially focusing on transport planning for development-led schemes. We are looking for someone who can confidently manage and deliver projects of varying scales with both public and private sector clients, requiring minimal supervision. Strong communication skills – both written and verbal – are essential, as you will be expected to present ideas clearly to internal teams and external stakeholders.
We welcome candidates with:
1. A degree (or higher) in Transport Planning, Civil Engineering, Geography, or a related field
2. Significant experience in development-focused transport planning for UK sites
3. A proven track record of delivering Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans
4. Experience conducting access feasibility studies and design
5. Knowledge and application of relevant design guidance (e.g. LTN 1/20, DMRB, Manual for Streets)
6. A solid understanding of the planning process in England and Wales
7. Excellent communication and client liaison skills
8. The ability to mentor, manage and train junior staff
9. Experience in contributing to, and leading, bids and financial proposals
10. Proficiency in industry-specific software (e.g. Junctions 9, LinSig, AutoCAD)
While chartership with a relevant professional body would be beneficial, it is not essential.

1. A modern and well-connected working environment
2. Quick career progression opportunities
3. A diverse range of exciting and challenging projects
