About the Role
My client is looking for a talented and motivated Transport Planning Engineer to join their Transport team. This is a hybrid role that combines transport planning with preliminary highway design. The ideal candidate will have experience in using AutoCAD and AutoTrack, with a passion for sustainable transport solutions and the built environment.
You'll play a key role in shaping developments through high-quality highway and sustainable travel design, supporting planning applications, and contributing to transport assessments and modelling. This is a design-focused planning role-not detailed or infrastructure design-and offers a great opportunity to expand your skills across both technical and policy-related workstreams.

路Assist in the production and configuration of traffic flow diagrams.
路Liaise with clients, local authorities, and stakeholders; attend meetings and workshops.
路Mentor and support junior team members through on-the-job training and technical development.
Essential Skills & Qualifications
路Proficient in AutoCAD and AutoTrack.
路Experience with preliminary highway design (e.g. Stage 1 junctions, right-turn lanes, signal junctions, roundabouts).
路Understanding of Manual for Streets, Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, and related highway layout guidance.
路Experience working within a transport consultancy or similar environment.
路Ability to clearly communicate technical information, both verbally and in writing.
路Organised and proactive, with strong time management and the ability to meet deadlines.
路Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Desirable Skills
路Experience with traffic modelling software (Junctions 10, LinSig, etc.).
路Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel (e.g., creating traffic flow diagrams).
路Familiarity with TRICS and TEMPro.
路Knowledge of planning policies and transport-related guidance (e.g. NPPF, DfT guidance, local transport plans).
路Keen interest in sustainable transport, placemaking, healthy streets, and transport appraisal.
Key Competencies
路Analytical thinking
路Problem solving
路Adaptability
路Teamwork and collaboration
路Commercial awareness
路Resilience and a proactive attitude
