Senior Analyst - Transport / Urban Planning

Senior Analyst - Transport Planner

Key Responsibilities

• Support capacity planning initiatives by translating forecast demand scenarios and target service levels into phased space and capacity requirements, contributing analytical input to strategic briefs and business cases for long-term development plans.
• Review and analyse historical operational performance data to establish baseline conditions and inform future capacity assessments and scenario testing.
• Assess the impacts of proposed or implemented operational changes, including capacity enhancements (such as new facilities or technologies) and potential constraints (such as regulatory or operational limitations).
• Support the development of concept layouts and operating concepts for proposed developments or operational changes, ensuring safe, efficient, and well-integrated movement of people and vehicles.
• Assist in the technical review of proposed development schemes and logistics plans prepared by internal delivery teams and external stakeholders.
• Capture and manage land-use and space planning requirements, including defining spatial needs and prioritising space to balance forecast demand with competing operational requirements.
• Support the review and validation of user requirement specifications, ensuring completeness and alignment with agreed planning assumptions.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of land-use and physical planning documents, including updating plans and supporting datasets with coordinated spatial information.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to help define customer experience and service propositions that inform capacity planning and long-term development activities.
• Review service propositions and planning assumptions to ensure consistency with operational objectives and agreed planning standards.
• Maintain and update planning, simulation, and capacity assessment models to support future demand scenarios and option testing.
• Ensure planning inputs, assumptions, and outputs are robust, transparent, and consistent with agreed methodologies and assumptions.
• Knowledge, skills & experience:
• Experience supporting transport capacity planning and land-use development through concept design, operational analysis, and performance-based assessment across complex infrastructure environments.
• Professional experience in traffic engineering, transport planning, or road and infrastructure design within operationally complex contexts.
• Hands-on experience with AutoCAD, AutoTURN, MicroStation, and ArcGIS.
• Ability to read, interpret, and develop architectural and transport layouts using AutoCAD, supporting facility planning and operational concepts.
• Experience contributing to concept design development and layout planning to support operational improvements and future capacity requirements.
• Exposure to traffic and vehicle simulation modelling to support capacity assessments, option evaluation, and operational performance reviews.
• Ability to analyse transport and operational performance data to identify trends and evaluate outcomes against defined service standards.
• Working knowledge of traffic modelling and simulation tools (e.g., VISUM, Vissim, SIDRA) is an advantage.
• Relevant professional certifications in logistics, supply chain, or safety compliance are considered an advantage.
