The Analytics & Crowd Dynamics team at Buro Happold is challenged with the most unique, interesting people-centric projects around the world. This requires us to be at the forefront of innovation in the field to address the complex challenges of analysis, optimisation and solutions for how people move and behave.

We are putting people at the centre of decision making, using people flow simulations and other methods to analyse crowd behaviour, visitor movement and management. We are optimising spaces such as airports, museums, theatres, workplaces, stadia, campuses and urban spaces. We take pride in delighting our clients by providing practical solutions that have significant positive impact on user experience, the performance of the venue or space and facilitating crowd management.

The work is highly varied and challenging, and would involve complex modelling work, as well as providing day to day design and management advice to architects and clients.

- Opportunity to work on interesting projects from a diverse range of sectors from entertainment and sport venues, museums and cultural venues, transport hubs to city areas and some of the largest crowds in the world
- Supporting colleagues in their analysis and presentation of results
- Have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas to your work

**Your skills & experience**:

- Eagerness to learn and work as part of a specialist team working with a variety of disciplines
- Logical mindset and excellent numerical and analytical skills.
- Experience analysing and interpreting data sets such as demands, routing or spatial analytics.
- Ability to present and communicate thoughts and technical ideas in an accessible manner.
