Overview

Shape a faster, smarter, safer future.

Are you ready to take up a vital role in shaping some of our exciting projects?

Join us at an exciting point in our journey as we launch our new Intelligent Transport and Infrastructure practice.

We have brought together a team of 180 consultants and engineers with deep expertise across asset management, intelligent mobility, smart technology, and digital and data solutions within the transport environment.

This newly formed, externally facing business is designed to align closely with our clients' evolving needs, while creating fresh opportunities for our people to grow, develop, and thrive as part of a collaborative and innovative practice.

We know that different people have different priorities, which is why we're here to support you. This role is aligned to a network of UK office locations: Birmingham, Cambridge, Epsom, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Flexible working is a central part of our culture.

And if you're returning from a career break, ask us how we can help you transition back into work with us.

Our Safety and Operations Assurance Group brings together a diverse range of expertise in safety, standards, systems and the operation of highways. We use this expertise to plan for the safe and efficient operation of changes to the highway whether they be complex infrastructure projects, process changes or the introduction of operational technology. We support clients in embedding effective safety governance, safety risk management and assurance processes throughout the lifecycle of infrastructure and services.

By combining technical knowledge with practical experience, we help organisations improve safety outcomes, enhance performance and deliver resilient solutions. We also contribute to the development of standards, policy, guidance and innovative approaches.

Your role

  • We are seeking Consultants across multiple grades with a strong technical capability in safety and operations, alongside an ability to support client engagement and business growth.
  • In this role, you will:
    • Undertake safety activities such as hazard identification, safety risk assessment and assurance.

    • Work collaboratively and engage with design teams, supporting the integration of safe operation and maintenance considerations into design.
    • Prepare clear, concise and high-quality written deliverables, including reports, technical notes and presentations.
    • Work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality outcomes.
    • In addition, you will:
    • Support the identification and development of opportunities with existing and new clients.
    • Contribute to the preparation of high-quality bids and proposals.
