Assistant / Transport Planner

Assistant / Transport Planner



Bristol

I''m currently working with a highly respected transport consultancy that is continuing to grow its Bristol team and is looking to appoint an Assistant Transport Planner or Transport Planner.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career transport planner to join a collaborative and supportive consultancy, working on a diverse range of development and infrastructure projects across the UK and internationally.

The business has built a strong reputation for delivering innovative transport planning solutions for residential, commercial, mixed-use, education, logistics and major infrastructure schemes. With continued investment in the Bristol office, this role offers the chance to develop your technical skills, gain exposure to high-profile projects and work alongside experienced professionals who are committed to supporting career progression.

As part of the transport planning team, you''ll be involved in a wide variety of projects from day one, supporting the delivery of transport assessments, travel plans and technical analysis while developing your understanding of the planning and development process.

This role offers excellent exposure to clients, local authorities and multidisciplinary project teams, making it an ideal opportunity for someone looking to accelerate their career within a leading consultancy environment.
Key responsibilities will include:

• Assisting with the preparation of Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans
• Undertaking transport data analysis and interpretation
• Supporting the preparation of technical reports and client deliverables
• Assisting with junction capacity assessments and transport modelling work
• Liaising with clients, local authorities and project teams
• Contributing to project delivery across a variety of sectors
• Supporting senior team members on complex planning and development projects

I''m keen to speak with candidates who have:

• A degree in Transport Planning, Geography, Civil Engineering, Planning or a related discipline
• Previous consultancy experience within transport planning (ideal but not essential for Assistant level)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication abilities
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
• An interest in development planning, transport strategy and sustainable travel

• The opportunity to join a growing Bristol office with excellent long-term career prospects
• Exposure to a broad and varied project portfolio
• Structured training and mentoring from experienced professionals
• Support towards professional development and chartership where applicable
• Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• A supportive and collaborative working culture

This opportunity would suit a graduate with some industry experience, an Assistant Transport Planner looking for the next step, or a Transport Planner seeking greater project exposure and career progression within a growing consultancy.
