About us

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career with a successful and innovative team of transport planners and modellers. Warwickshire is growing rapidly and the successful candidate will play a key role in shaping the future development of the transport infrastructure, which is vital to supporting sustainable economic growth and prosperity.

The Transport Planning Group identifies, develops and delivers transport schemes to meet the objectives of the County Council’s Local Transport Plan. The County Council has an enviable record of securing funding and delivering major transport improvements across all modes of travel. In recent years this has included new rail stations and major new or improved roads and cycle infrastructure. There is much more to come and we are focused on delivering an ambitious pipeline of schemes. Transport modelling is central to our work and success and you will be joining an authority that is leading the way in utilising the latest modelling techniques.

About the role

The successful applicant will be rewarded with a varied and challenging workload. Your primary role will be to analyse and respond to Transport Assessments for major developments. You will also play a leading role in preparing the County Council’s Strategic Transport Assessments which inform the spatial planning proposals of Warwickshire’s five District/Borough Councils. Through this work you will identify, design and develop multi-modal solutions to transport challenges. You can also expect to lead the development and help implement a transport strategy for a specific area of the County and to project manage individual transport schemes from their inception to delivery.

Key Requirements

To be successful in this role you will need to be motivated, creative and have good organisational skills. You will need excellent numeracy and analytical skills in order to evaluate and interpret transport data and modelling outputs. You will also use these skills to develop detailed understanding of transport problems and to identify, explore and develop solutions. You will need to be an advanced excel user, able to use spreadsheets to analyse and manipulate complex data. As you will be working with and alongside a wide range of internal and external colleagues, partners and clients, you will need to have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, and be used to providing technical information to varied audiences.  

You should be educated to degree level (or equivalent). Previous experience in transport planning and specifically transport modelling is desirable, but not essential as on-the-job training will be given. The successful applicant will be appointed at Engineering Level 4.
