- Extensive experience delivering transport inputs to support planning applications in the UK.
- Strong knowledge of relevant national and local transport and planning policy frameworks (e.g. NPPF, LTN 1/20).
- Proficiency in modelling and analysis tools (e.g. TRICS, Junctions 10, LinSig, AutoCAD, GIS).
- Excellent report writing, presentation, and communication skills.
- Proven project management experience and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Right to work in the UK (no sponsorship offered for this position)
