As a Principal Transport Planner, you'd also be given the opportunity to immerse yourself in the commercial (working to win new work), operational (taking on leadership responsibilities of others in the team), and marketing/outside industry bodies (with marketing responsibilities should you want them and an opportunity to get involved in the CIHT or STEM or others).
