About the Role

We are currently looking for a Senior Transport Planner (minimum 3 years of experience) with a passion for development-related transport planning. The successful candidate will join a busy team working on a wide range of projects in the North West and across the UK. Our strong and diverse client base means that no one day is the same and staff advise on an extensive portfolio of projects which includes mixed-use regeneration, residential, employment, logistics, retail, leisure, and education.

As a Senior Transport Planner, you will manage projects and communicate directly with clients to provide advice on transport and highway matters. You will also be involved in liaising and negotiating with local highway authority officers and other government bodies to achieve successful outcomes for our clients.

If you want to go home at the end of the day feeling like you have achieved and delivered something, then we are the company to work for.

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.
