Job description

Senior or Principal Transport Planner, Development Planning

Woking or London, hybrid


Mayer Brown is looking for an experienced Transport Planner to join our growing Transport Planning team, with a focus on development planning, access strategy and practical, deliverable transport advice.


This is a good opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of projects, working directly with clients and local authorities, and seeing development proposals progress from early feasibility through planning and delivery. You might already be operating at Senior level and looking for a clearer route to Principal, or you may already be a Principal Transport Planner looking for a more visible role in an independent, multidisciplinary consultancy.


At Mayer Brown, you will work in a close-knit team backed by the stability and expertise of a long-established consultancy. Our transport planners work alongside highways, infrastructure, drainage, environmental and place-making specialists, giving you broad exposure to projects and the opportunity to shape practical solutions rather than working in a narrow technical silo.


What you will be doing

You will lead and manage development-led transport planning projects, including Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, Travel Plans, access appraisals, feasibility studies and technical notes. You will advise clients from early site promotion and pre-application stages through to planning submissions, conditions, S106 / S278 matters and delivery.


You will also liaise with clients, planning authorities, highway authorities and wider design teams, review technical work, manage project budgets and support junior colleagues. For candidates operating at Principal level, there will be scope to take a stronger role in client account development, fee proposals and shaping the future growth of the team.


What we are looking for

We are interested in people with strong UK development planning experience who can combine technical judgement with clear communication and commercial awareness.


You will probably bring:

  • Experience preparing and reviewing Transport Assessments, Transport Statements, Travel Plans and supporting technical notes.
  • Good understanding of TRICS, TEMPro and junction modelling, such as Junctions, LinSig or similar.
  • Experience working with developers, planning consultants, architects, local planning authorities and highway authorities.
  • Strong report writing and the ability to explain transport issues clearly to non-specialists.
  • The confidence to manage projects, deadlines and client expectations.
  • A collaborative approach and an interest in mentoring less experienced colleagues.


Experience in residential, mixed-use, retail, commercial or regeneration projects would be useful. Professional membership of CIHT, TPS, CILT or a similar body, or working towards this, would be welcomed.


Why Mayer Brown

You will join an independent consultancy where your contribution is visible and valued. We offer varied development planning work, direct access to senior colleagues, a supportive team culture and genuine scope to shape your career.


We offer:

  • Industry-leading salary, depending on grade and level of experience.
  • Hybrid working from either our Woking or London.
  • Support for professional development and professional memberships.
  • Company pension and wider benefits package.
  • Career progression in a growing transport planning team.
  • A collaborative working culture with active social, sporting and charitable activities.


For an exceptional Principal-level candidate with a strong technical, commercial or client development track record, we are happy to discuss a package that reflects the value you would bring. For more information and an informal chat - please contact Ollie Neaves oneaves@mayerbrown.co.uk
