Graduate Transport Planner – Bristol

About the Role

We are looking for a Graduate Transport Planner to join a growing transport planning team in Bristol.

This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate looking to build a career within transport planning, working alongside experienced consultants on a variety of exciting and technically challenging projects across the UK.

You’ll gain exposure to all aspects of transport planning, from data collection and analysis through to the preparation of transport assessments, technical reports and supporting documentation for planning applications.

The Role

As a Graduate Transport Planner, you will:

  • Assist with the preparation of Transport Assessments, Transport Statements and Travel Plans.
  • Undertake traffic and transport data analysis and interpretation.
  • Assist with junction capacity assessments and traffic modelling.
  • Support the preparation of technical reports and presentations.
  • Carry out research into transport networks, development proposals and relevant planning policy.
  • Assist with parking, accessibility and sustainable transport assessments.
  • Liaise with clients, local authorities, developers and other project stakeholders.
  • Support senior team members on a range of residential, commercial, retail and mixed-use developments.
  • Contribute to projects from initial feasibility through to planning submission and delivery.
  • Develop your technical knowledge and understanding of the UK transport planning and development process.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
