We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Strategic Transport Planning Director to join our dynamic team in Scotland.

The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering transport planning projects for private and public sector clients, working collaboratively with colleagues across the business. This includes leading project teams, managing bids, and overseeing the financial performance of the team.

As a technical lead, you will have a deep understanding of transport planning principles and be able to apply this expertise to deliver successful projects.

In addition, you will have extensive knowledge of public sector frameworks, such as Scotland Excel, and be able to run projects of varying size and complexity to achieve successful outcomes. Chartered status with a relevant professional qualification or equivalent is essential.

Our estimated salary for this role is £80,000 - £100,000 per annum, depending on experience. If you believe you have the skills and experience required for this position, we would love to hear from you.
