Transport planning UK

Here in the Midlands, we have a diverse team of around 35 Transport Planners and have ambitious growth aspirations. We have a good mix of people and levels of experience. We have recently moved to fantastic new Grade A offices in Birmingham City Centre next to the historic Town Hall, the Council house and the Art Gallery, an envious location to take advantage of.

We support many local frameworks and clients, including TfWM, Midlands Connect, Solihull, Warwickshire, Coventry, Staffordshire and Telford & Wrekin and, through our AtkinsRéalis colleagues, have access to many other authorities in the Midlands region. However, we don’t just work for local clients; we currently provide services across the UK, including in Hampshire, Surrey, Gloucestershire and the East of England.

Our team works closely with other AtkinsRéalis transport colleagues from across the UK, including our engineering design, architects, master planners and environment teams. We offer a range of opportunities to develop your skills, gain experience on multi-disciplinary projects and keep the interest factor high.

The skills and expertise of the people in our office cover the full range of Transport Planning disciplines including, travel demand management, behavioural change, strategy and policy development, business case development, all types of modelling, development planning, bus and transit, monitoring & evaluation and data analytics.

Finally, I forgot to mention that we have a very active social committee, and we are very flexible and accommodating in terms of working days and working hours. If you are interested in joining our team, please look at the range of posts open on our website.

Welcome to Transport Planning North! We’re a 40-strong team working flexibly between home and our offices in Manchester, Leeds and York, Warrington and North Wales. Our team brings a diversity and breadth unparalleled in the region, including Transport Planners, Transport Modellers, Active Travel specialists, Business Case specialists, Development Planners, Consultation Specialists, Data Analysts, Project Managers and Programmers.

We work across all modes and are proud of our work in rail, active travel, quality bus schemes and highways. We work across a range of AtkinsRéalis businesses and have close ties with our colleagues in Transport Advisory through our rail work and with our colleagues in Intelligent Mobility.

Most of our work is in the north of England, but we are a national business, working throughout the UK and on projects abroad. We work for all the major regional authorities in the north, including pan-regional bodies such as Transport for the North. Other clients include National Highways and the district and shire counties of the north of England. We have a high proportion of Early Careers professionals in the team, all of whom we encourage to take advantage of our training and to achieve relevant chartered status.

The industry is dynamic, and we’re always looking forward to supporting our clients to meet a digital and Net Zero future. We’d be pleased to hear from you if you think you can contribute and make a difference as part of our Transport Planning community.

Welcome to Transport Planning Northern Ireland. We have an established business based in Belfast, providing a wide range of specialist services over the last 25 years. We have a broad portfolio of clients, working closely with organisations such as the Department for Infrastructure, Translink, Ulster University, the GAA, several local authorities and private sector clients. Our Transport Planning team is at the forefront of many fascinating multi-disciplinary projects, including the Casement Park Stadium and the Belfast Rapid Transit Glider project (Phase 2 is currently out for public consultation). We have a long history of providing strategic transport planning advice. AtkinsRéalis prepared the Belfast Metropolitan Transport Plan, and more recently, has provided transport planning and modelling support to help inform the North West and Belfast development strategies.

We have extensive development planning expertise and have supported retail, residential and commercial developments throughout Northern Ireland. Indeed, our team also provides help to our wider business and recently took a lead role in the appraisal of a third runway for Heathrow Airport.

We also work alongside our colleagues in Scotland to support a broad and diverse range of projects in that region. Northern Ireland is a fantastic place to live and work, and we recently moved to modern state-of-the-art offices in central Belfast in late Autumn 2021.

Welcome to Transport Planning Scotland! We’re a small but growing team working flexibly across our offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow. We also work closely with our transport planning colleagues in Northern Ireland and the wider UK. Our team supports a range of transport planning projects across development planning, active travel, transport policy and transport appraisal throughout Scotland and the UK.

We recently placed top on the Scotland Excel Framework Transport Planning Lot. Following this result, we are working directly for several local councils and other organisations on projects extending from Moray through to the Scottish Border. It’s this variety of work, technical skills and client requirements that means anyone with an interest in Transportation can find a home with us and thrive within AtkinsRéalis.

We work on core professional services contracts with The City of Edinburgh Council, not just on Transport Planning, but across master planning and other lots. This provides further opportunities to deploy multi-disciplinary teams on several significant projects in the Region. AtkinsRéalis also works with a range of other clients, including Transport Scotland, CityDeal organisations, Network Rail, NHS and local community groups and organisations.

We are present in most sectors deriving a balanced portfolio of local authorities, and national/regional bodies working within the private sector. We are in a hugely exciting time for the transport sector, and we’re at the forefront of the drive to a Net Zero future. We’d be delighted to hear from you if you think you can contribute and make a difference as part of our Transport Planning team.

We maintain the SATURN modelling software in the region and have developed the industry-leading Virtual Street Design tool integrating different technical expertise. It’s this range of skills that means anyone with an interest in Transportation can find a home with us and thrive on the wide range of projects we offer. About 80% of our work focuses on the South East, where we deliver core professional services contracts with Hampshire County Council, Surrey County Council, Portsmouth City Council and Slough Borough Council. We also work with many other clients, including TfSE, National Highways, DfT, Network Rail, Homes England and The Crown Estate.

We are present in most sectors deriving a balanced portfolio of local authorities, national/regional bodies, and the private sector. So you can expect a strong local project flavour with a national reach in your discipline.

We have over 30 staff operating out of our offices in Bristol and Cardiff, with our two teams being heavily interlinked. As part of the wider AtkinsRéalis multidisciplinary design and management team, our transport planners provide a key role in the conception, development and delivery of transport solutions that enable real change locally for transport users and society. Much of the team’s focus is on delivering our commitments as Framework Consultants for several authorities within our region, meaning that we can support the development of local multi-modal transport systems.

Across the wider business, we contribute to projects at a national scale for Network Rail, the Department for Transport, Transport for Wales and National Highways. The skills and expertise of the people in our offices cover the full range of Transport Planning disciplines, including strategy and policy development, sustainable modes design, economics and business case, development planning and data analytics. We have an expanding workload in future transport and mobility, cycle and public realm design, public transport service improvements and net carbon zero. I consider this diversity of balancing investment across modes and technologies is pushing us all in the right direction of achieving something special.

Three words that sum up this Transport Planning Team are welcoming, innovative, and flexible. With our ongoing and pipeline of projects, there is an exciting future.
