Desired candidate profile
1. Data Collection and Analysis
* Traffic Data Analysis: Assisting in the collection and analysis of traffic data, such as traffic volume counts, speed surveys, or accident data.
* GIS Mapping: Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software to map transport networks, analyze traffic patterns, and visualize transportation data.
* Surveying: Conducting surveys of road conditions, traffic patterns, pedestrian and cyclist counts, and other transport-related data collection in the field.
* Statistical Analysis: Helping analyze data and preparing reports, charts, and graphs to summarize findings related to transport demand, safety, and infrastructure.
2. Research and Report Preparation
* Literature Reviews: Conducting research on transport policies, best practices, or emerging trends in the field (e.g., electric vehicles, sustainable transportation).
* Project Support: Assisting in the preparation of reports for ongoing transport projects, including summarizing findings, making recommendations, and helping prepare presentation materials.
* Market Research: Assisting in research related to public transport, mobility services, or urban transportation trends to support project planning and development.
3. Transportation Planning Support
* Route Planning: Assisting senior transport planners in evaluating and planning transportation routes, whether for public transit, freight, or private vehicles.
* Traffic Modelling: Helping in traffic flow modeling and simulations to assess the impact of proposed changes to transport infrastructure or the introduction of new policies.
* Public Transport Systems: Assisting with the analysis and planning of public transport systems, including bus, metro, and train schedules, ridership patterns, and capacity planning.
* Sustainability Planning: Supporting efforts to develop more sustainable transport systems, such as integrating bicycle lanes, pedestrian zones, or electric vehicle infrastructure into urban planning.
4. Assisting with Transport Policies and Strategies
* Policy Research: Supporting the development of transportation policies, including understanding local government transport regulations, sustainability goals, and future urban mobility plans.
* Regulatory Compliance: Assisting in the review of regulations related to transportation infrastructure, environmental impact assessments (EIA), and ensuring compliance with safety standards.
* Funding and Grant Research: Helping identify potential funding sources for transport projects, such as government grants or public-private partnership opportunities.
5. Administrative and Coordination Tasks
* Meeting Support: Assisting with scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, and taking minutes during meetings related to transport planning or project discussions.
* Documentation: Helping organize and manage project documentation, reports, and transport-related data.
* Client and Stakeholder Communication: Supporting communication with project stakeholders, including clients, local authorities, and the public, to gather feedback and share project updates.
6. Field Work
* Site Visits: Conducting site visits to assess transportation infrastructure, road conditions, or the need for new transport solutions (e.g., new bus routes, parking strategies, etc.).
* Observation: Observing the operations of transport systems (e.g., public transit stations, intersections) and providing input on improvements or challenges.
