Full Time, Permanent
REF: #EJR012954

Ealing Council has published an ambitious Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy, and we are working on a new Transport Strategy. Supporting active and sustainable travel is a key goal, with our work focusing on cycling, walking, public transport and electric vehicles.

To support these goals, we are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our award-winning Transport Planning team. As Principal Transport Planner you will lead a wide-ranging programme of transport projects, help create our transport strategies and plans, and manage a team of transport planners. You will lead on various Local Implementation Plan programmes, which includes strategic schemes, public realm improvements and bike hangar rollout. You will provide Transport Planning advice on regeneration projects and new developments, ensuring they meet our ambition of a greener, safer and healthier borough.

We are looking for someone organised and self-motivated, with knowledge and experience of transport project delivery in the public or private sector, reviewing transport assessments, and creating transport plans and strategies. You will have a keen interest in active and sustainable travel, and will have either a relevant degree (environmental studies, transport planning, or a related discipline) or equivalent experience.

It’s an exciting time to join Ealing. We are the third largest London borough by population, with many diverse communities and seven key town centres. We have ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis, create good jobs, and fight inequality. We are involved in major transport projects such as High Speed 2, Heathrow Airport surface access, and large-scale new developments in Old Oak Common and Southall. The Transport Planning team is delivering key projects including EV charging, bike hangars, School Streets, micromobility, cargo bike schemes and strategic transport improvements, and we’d love you to join us.

This role will work on a hybrid basis with the rest of the Transport Planning team, with time split between the office in Ealing Broadway and remote working. We offer training opportunities and flexible working.

Don’t meet every single requirement? We know that sometimes people can be put off applying for a job if they think they can’t tick every box. So, if you can do most of what we’re looking for, go ahead and apply. You may be just the right candidate for the job!
