Job description

Transport Decarbonisation Consultant

We are seeking a Transport Decarbonisation Consultant who can be based out of any of our UK offices. You will be responsible for:

  • Advising government (local, regional, national, international) on how to decarbonise transport in line with carbon budgets and net zero
  • Aligning transport decarbonisation with other client policy agendas
  • Supporting the development and continual improvement of WSP’s transport decarbonisation, spatial planning, and vision‑led planning offers
  • Providing technical leadership, expertise, and quality assurance across all transport strategy decarbonisation commissions, including supporting staff with technical development and upskilling
  • Collaborating with other teams in our Mobility business and other disciplines to identify the optimal solutions for addressing the decarbonisation challenge and their associated impacts
  • Leading complex, innovative projects for high‑profile clients, including development of new decarbonisation services and tools
  • Supporting business growth by shaping new service lines, winning work, and strengthening client relationships
  • Managing development of fee proposals to clients, including coordinating and preparing technical and commercial responses
  • Building a collaborative, ‘carbon conscious’ culture across the wider Mobility team, and acting as a champion for embedding best‑practice transport decarbonisation approaches across the business

The successful candidate will have strong technical experience in providing strategic advice in transport assessment and management, with suitable knowledge of transport modelling and carbon assessment methods, and an aptitude for defining technical approaches that can be applied in new and innovative areas. This role is best suited to someone with a transport planning, modelling or carbon assessment background, but a passion for mitigating climate change through decarbonising transport is essential. We will also help you broaden your experience or deepen your specialist skills in line with your career aspirations.

Qualifications

  • Experience in technical leadership roles, involving scoping and reviewing technical outputs, and requiring a pragmatic approach to resolving often complex issues
  • Experience in project management and client‑facing roles, with confidence in adapting complex information into concise, plain‑language summaries
  • Experience in transport planning, including transport policy and strategy, and major scheme business case development
  • The ability to interpret model outputs from strategic modelling and transport assessment, including contextualising the results
  • Knowledge of the principles of Net Zero in a transport context and specific experience relating to carbon assessment is preferable
  • Knowledge of the planning system, covering spatial planning and development control decision‑making processes
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to innovate beyond traditional processes and methods
  • Confidence in working in complex project teams (often cross‑discipline) and ability to upskill staff on decarbonisation best practice
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • A deep interest and passion for delivering Net Zero

We are keen to hear from people who hold or who are currently working towards a professional qualification / chartership.
