Principal Transport Planner

I am recruiting for a national multi-disciplinary consultancy that truly rewards its staff with some unique benefits, from trips abroad to offering every member of staff a 9% employer pension contribution and bonus scheme.

This consultancy is looking for a Principal Transport Planner for their team in London with a strong experience portfolio in leading development planning schemes with clients such as residential house builders and commercial buildings.

As a Principal Transport Planner, you will be leading your own team of junior transport planners and liaising with clients across the country to deliver Travel Plans, Transport Assessments, Transport Models, and in some cases, economic transport appraisals.

It would be hugely beneficial if you've been involved in business development, but it isn't essential and it would be your next development step in this consultancy.

4. Assisting in the hiring, integration, mentoring, and guidance of staff for the benefit of the team.
5. Liaison and negotiation with clients, project teams, and planning and highways officers.
