Senior Transport Planner in Stocksbridge

Senior Transport Planner

Sheffield
£40,000 to £50,000

About the role

If you have over 4 years of experience in transport planning and are ready to run your own projects rather than support someone else’s, this may be a role for you.

You would be given genuine ownership. Smaller and mid-sized commissions would be yours to manage from start to finish, while on larger projects you would lead key workstreams. Alongside the technical work, you would build lasting relationships with clients and stakeholders, contribute to fee proposals and help bring in new work. You would also help bring on the less experienced members of the team.

Day to day

• Running small and medium-sized transport planning projects independently, and taking charge of workstreams within larger, more complex schemes
• Producing, coordinating and checking Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, Travel Plans and monitoring strategies
• Carrying out and reviewing junction capacity assessments, and interpreting traffic, parking, accessibility and travel data with specialist software and GIS
• Keeping programmes, budgets, risks and quality on track, and flagging significant issues to the Team Lead
• Engaging directly with clients, highway and planning authorities, regulators and other stakeholders, and presenting clear, practical recommendations
• Arranging and overseeing traffic surveys, specialist assessments and subcontractors
• Feeding transport expertise into multidisciplinary and environmental projects, working alongside air quality, noise, drainage, planning and design colleagues
• Keeping pace with transport policy, legislation and best practice, particularly around sustainable and active travel
• Writing fee proposals and spotting opportunities to grow the business

What you will bring

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Geography, Transport Planning, Urban Planning or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• A minimum of five years’ post-graduate experience with a transport planning consultancy, public authority or similar organisation
• Solid knowledge of UK transport planning policy, guidance and development management processes
• Practical experience of writing Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans
• Junction capacity modelling experience using Junctions 11 and LinSig
• Working knowledge of TRICS, TEMPro, AutoTRACK or similar tools
• Competence in highway design, traffic, parking and accessibility analysis, GIS and Microsoft Office, especially Excel
• A background in client and stakeholder liaison, fee proposals and business development
• Excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to balance competing priorities
