Overview


Rail and Transit Advisory is a multidisciplinary transport advisory discipline that helps clients make evidence-based decisions about the development, funding, delivery and improvement of rail and transit schemes. Our work typically sits at the early stages of project development, where strategic thinking, robust analysis and clear communication are required to help clients define their objectives, understand options and build the case for investment.

The discipline combines quantitative analysis with a strong understanding of policy, operations, commercial drivers and passenger or user outcomes. Successful team members are therefore able to work with data and technical evidence, while also understanding how analysis supports wider strategic, financial, operational and client decision-making. Our outputs range from Green Book compliant business cases through to client reports, briefing papers, presentations and decision-support material for senior stakeholders including detailed spreadsheet models and technical analysis. We are looking for a Transport Consultant to support project delivery and bidding.


Your Role


  • You will be part of our multidisciplinary teams focused on delivering high-quality outputs for our clients.
  • You will work as part of our dynamic and integrated team, and autonomously when required.
  • You will prepare technical analysis supporting the teams project development (e.g. demand forecasting, operating cost development, economic appraisal, multi-criterial analysis).
  • You will prepare reports and presentations for a range of internal and external stakeholders.
  • You will interface directly with clients to manage and nurture long lasting relationships.
  • You will contribute to business development and bid writing.
  • You will provide project management support to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery to our clients.
  • You will be empowered and supported to continually develop yourself and those around you.
