Location: Edinburgh | Fully Remote
Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

Are you an experienced Senior Transport Planner looking for a fully remote opportunity with a well-established consultancy working across some of the UK's most interesting development, infrastructure and energy projects?
I'm working with a highly respected built environment and infrastructure consultancy that is looking to strengthen its Transport Planning team with an experienced Senior Transport Planner.

The role offers the chance to work on a diverse portfolio of projects, with a particular focus on energy, infrastructure, commercial and residential developments, while working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams.

You'll be involved primarily in the early stages of projects, from site feasibility through to planning submission, with opportunities to broaden your experience across public-sector work, policy, research, innovation and stakeholder engagement.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing Transport Assessments and Transport Statements
• Supporting Traffic & Transport chapters for Environmental Impact Assessments
• Working on large-scale energy and infrastructure projects, including renewable energy developments
• Undertaking site visits, feasibility studies and transport due diligence
• Carrying out junction assessments using ARCADY, PICADY and LINSIG
• Developing access strategies, internal layouts and highway mitigation proposals
• Working in accordance with DMRB, Manual for Streets and relevant local standards
• Acting as a key point of contact for transport matters across projects
• Liaising with clients, architects, multidisciplinary teams, local authorities and other stakeholders
• Managing project budgets, programmes and resources
• Supporting tenders, fee proposals and business development activities

We're looking for an experienced Transport Planner who can work independently while contributing effectively within a wider multidisciplinary team.

You'll ideally have:

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Transport Planning, Geography or a related subject
• Strong experience within transport planning and development planning
• Hands-on experience with ARCADY, PICADY and LINSIG
• Experience producing Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, EIAs and CTMPs
• A strong understanding of UK transport planning guidance and planning policy
• Experience working with private-sector clients, developers or landowners
• Good understanding of DMRB and Manual for Streets
• Strong communication and report-writing skills
• Good commercial awareness and experience managing projects to budget and deadline
• Progress towards, or achievement of, professional accreditation such as CEng, TPP or equivalent would be advantageous

Experience within energy, renewables or major infrastructure projects would be particularly beneficial, although candidates from a broader development planning background will also be considered.

• Competitive salary
• Fully remote working
• Flexible working arrangements
• Excellent benefits package
• Opportunity to work on major energy, infrastructure, commercial and residential projects
• Exposure to both private and public-sector clients
• Strong technical support and mentoring from experienced senior professionals
• Excellent training and professional development opportunities
• Support towards professional qualifications
• A collaborative and progressive working environment
• Opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth of the Transport Planning team

If you're an experienced Senior Transport Planner looking for a genuinely flexible role with exposure to interesting projects across development, energy and infrastructure, I'd be keen to speak with you.
