Bristol, United Kingdom Apex Transport Planning Ltd Full time

**Overview**

We are expanding our Transport Planning team and looking for Graduate Consultants in our Bristol and Cardiff offices to continue our ongoing success.

**About Apex**

We are a small but dynamic company with a reputation for delivering quality advice for development planning projects. The work we do ensures our clients achieve viable planning permissions; enabling the construction of much needed housing, infrastructure and employment facilities.

Our work is vital in promoting sustainable travel and ensuring communities are well-connected by safe and efficient transport networks. We work alongside landowners and promoters, developers, site operators, planners, architects and other specialists as part of consultant teams.

We have a friendly and informal culture which would suit self-motivated and driven individuals and we offer an extensive package of benefits to suit your individual lifestyle and well-being.

As a Graduate Consultant, you will provide technical inputs relating to our clients’ development proposals. The ability to articulate and communicate complex issues succinctly and clearly is therefore essential. You will also be comfortable working on numerous simultaneous projects and managing competing deadlines and client requirements.

We will require you to provide a sound and friendly service to our clients where required, as well as add value to all projects through your work.

You will have excellent people skills and can work as part of a team, but can also immerse yourself into complex individual tasks, where needed, to deliver the required result for our clients.

Our workstream is led by our clients’ requirements and will provide you with a depth and breadth of knowledge on transport related matters.

By joining Apex, we will set you on a career path to becoming a renowned expert and leader within the industry.
