About the Job
Your New Role – What’s Involved?
We are seeking Graduate Consultants to join our London office at Mayer Brown Limited. The role will focus on supporting the delivery of sustainable transport, active travel, and placemaking projects.
As a graduate, you will work alongside experienced consultants and contribute to a wide range of projects, gaining hands-on experience and developing your technical and professional skills. You will:
- Support and contribute to transport planning projects that prioritise sustainability, active modes of travel, and people-focused places
- Assist in the development of active travel strategies, street design concepts, and placemaking assessments
- Support the preparation of feasibility studies and technical reports
- Use GIS tools to undertake spatial analysis and mapping for transport strategies, movement frameworks, and public realm schemes
- Assist with data collection, research, and analysis to inform project development
- Collaborate with colleagues, clients, and local authorities to support the delivery of integrated, sustainable mobility solutions
This role offers an excellent opportunity to build a strong foundation in transport planning within a supportive and collaborative environment.
Your Team
At Mayer Brown, we are passionate about creating sustainable and accessible communities. Our London-based team works on a variety of high-impact projects involving walking and cycling infrastructure, liveable neighbourhoods, road safety, and placemaking initiatives.
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.
