Job Description

At Arup, we deliver ground-breaking designs through our work in infrastructure, building design and specialist technical services. Independent in ownership and spirit, we're a global firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical experts who use our skills to make a positive difference in the world.

Effective transport planning is the platform from which integrated communities can be developed to support economic growth, enhance social interaction and deliver environmental benefits by providing sustainable and efficient transport systems.

Low carbon, smarter solutions and a focus on outcomes rather than outputs anchor Arup's approach to transport planning, whether collaborating with clients on innovative projects or shaping debate on policy and planning.

We have established ourselves at the forefront of the debate on future transport and planning policy, with a reputation that is built up on excellence and innovation in our work. As a result, we offer a complete transport consultancy service worldwide, with our Transport Planners operating through a network of over 70 offices across the globe.

Our Transport Planning business provides a range of consultancy services including:

  • Transport strategy and planning
  • Business case appraisals
  • Planning for active and sustainable travel
  • Transport demand management and modelling
  • Impact assessments
  • Traffic engineering
  • Development planning
  • Data management and analytics

Arup's plans and studies have improved journeys in places around the world by identifying changes to help more people move with greater ease, using less energy. We use sophisticated modelling to consider all forms of transport - including walking and cycling, freight and the urban bus and metro links that connect with intercity and inter-regional transport.

To meet communities' needs today and in the future, our planners work closely with specialists in master planning, sustainable infrastructure, interchange design, rail, highways and aviation to ensure that we achieve truly integrated transport systems. Arup recognises the need to take a wider view on the approach to transport planning and examine why we plan transport, who we plan for and how we do it. This approach is underpinned by the robust technical skills, knowledge and creativity that Arup is famous for. This increasingly includes embracing digital services to combine innate knowledge of the built environment and how new technologies shape a better world.
