What will you be getting up to?

The key to a successful economy is the development of safe and efficient transport networks. This is where our graduate transport planners come in. In today’s world, we face many global challenges such as global warming and a constantly growing population; we’re passionate about contributing to creating the solutions for these challenges.

  • Transport modelling: you’ll have the opportunity to create models which forecast the use and demand of different transport systems. The satisfying work that our teams do supports aid policy making whilst helping to create an efficient transport system.
  • Rail planning: the use of our rail networks is increasing. You’ll be involved in helping to ensure that everything runs as efficiently as possible.
