We offer a hybrid working policy for all staff members; the successful candidate can be based in our Manchester, London, or Bath office.

About Our Transport Team

We have an exciting opportunity for a talented graduate-level transport and mobility engineer to join our transport and mobility team. Our team works across various projects worldwide, with work varying from strategic master planning at city, area, or development scale to transport assessments and infrastructure design at the planning stage.

The team workload is split evenly between development projects in the UK and projects overseas. The type of work varies from strategic master planning at city scale to the preparation of transport assessments for projects in the UK. There will therefore be opportunities for overseas travel.

North America: Make Way for Lower Manhattan, a scheme to improve the quality of the streetscape in Lower Manhattan, New York.

Asia: UK PACT projects for transitioning Indonesia to low-carbon transport.

Europe: SAP Garden Arena, Munich, and the City West 2040 Mobility Strategy for sustainable and equitable travel in a central district of Berlin.

UK: A number of urban development projects such as the expansion of the All England Lawn Tennis Club (Wimbledon), Mayfield Development, Manchester, Thameside West in London's Royal Docks, Vauxhall Cross mixed-use development in London, Lords Cricket Ground: redevelopment of the Compton and Edrich stands, Tottenham Hotspur's new stadium, and White City Living near Westfield in west London.

We would like to hear from you if you are studying (or have graduated) in any of the below degrees:

  • Currently pursuing or already completed a degree in a transport-related subject such as:
    • Transport Planning
    • Civil Engineering
    • Urban Design, Urban Planning
    • Architecture (or other relevant subject not listed)
  • Particularly interested in transportation, and with a passion for emerging transport and mobility trends and technologies, engineering design, sustainability, and making a meaningful contribution to society.
  • Able to communicate thoughts and technical ideas in an accessible manner, verbally and in writing.
  • Comfortable executing project deliverables within a given timeframe.
  • Ideally familiar with using GIS software to analyse and visualize geospatial data.
  • Graphic skills are desirable, and experience using Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign) is beneficial.
