Associate Director - Transport Planning
Leeds | Hybrid Working
Competitive Salary + Bonus + Comprehensive Benefits Package
Are you an experienced Transport Planning professional looking to take the next step in your career with a highly regarded independent consultancy?
I'm currently working with an award-winning transport planning and infrastructure consultancy that is continuing to grow its presence across the UK. Due to an expanding project portfolio and sustained business success, they are looking to appoint an Associate Director to join their Leeds office and play a key role in shaping both project delivery and the future growth of the business.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious transport planner seeking greater influence, leadership responsibility and a clear pathway towards senior leadership within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment.
The Role
As Associate Director, you'll lead the delivery of a diverse range of development planning projects across residential, commercial, logistics, mixed-use, education and strategic land sectors. You'll work closely with clients, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams, providing expert transport planning advice while supporting the development and growth of the Leeds office.
Alongside managing key client relationships and project delivery, you'll have the opportunity to mentor and develop junior staff, contribute to business development initiatives and play an active role in shaping the direction of the team.
