About the opportunities
The Graduate Transport Engineers will join our Transport Planning and Mobility Solutions team which is part of our Cities & Places business unit. We can create thriving places across different scales: from regions to cities, neighbourhoods to sites, by offering an integrated design approach. Our business unit brings together transport planners, engineers, architects, designers, surveyors, urban designers and project managers to provide collaborative and coordinated value design solutions for our clients both nationally and internationally.
Our team skillsets cover the full remit of transport planning across all modes; from active travel, streets design, traffic engineering and junction design, transport policy and strategy. We are interested in hearing from candidates who are keen to develop a rounded set of skills, as well as those who have more specialised interests including but not limited to traffic engineering, active travel scheme design, transformational placemaking, traffic management solutions, and public transport schemes. As part of the team, you will support the development of active travel schemes from options development through to construction, producing document packages and schematic designs based on scope of project, design criteria, applicable codes/standards, and quality control processes.
You will have the support of a mentor, our management team and experts who will help guide your progress. You will also be given the opportunity to pursue relevant business and technical training to support your career development, as well as room to grow your network and knowledge base to create innovative solutions.
