Contract: Full-time
Salary: £50,000 – £55,000
Work Style: Flexible working arrangements with a minimum of 3 days in the office
Recruiter: Morson Talent, on behalf of a growing transport consultancy, looking for someone who wants to take the step up to lead the team.
Are you an experienced Highways and Public Realm Design Consultant looking to take the next step in your career? This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled professional to join a smaller, dynamic consultancy where you’ll take on greater responsibility and lead a team of 5 consultants on high-profile transport and urban design projects.
If you're looking for a role where you can shape your own career direction—whether that’s stepping into a management position or taking the lead on complex design projects—this is the perfect role for you. You’ll have the autonomy to manage your team, drive project delivery, and make a real impact on urban mobility and public spaces across the UK.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Leadership: Lead and manage the design of highways and public realm projects, ensuring integration across disciplines and alignment with the consultancy’s strategic vision.
Client Engagement: Act as the primary point of contact for clients, building strong relationships, understanding their goals, and delivering innovative, high-quality design solutions.
Design Excellence: Develop and implement sustainable, technically sound, and user-friendly designs for complex urban transport and public realm challenges.
Team Management & Mentorship: Lead and mentor a small team of 5 professionals, fostering a collaborative environment and providing guidance to support their professional growth.
Project Delivery: Oversee project timelines, budgets, and resources to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and meet client expectations.
Quality Assurance: Ensure rigorous quality control on all project deliverables, maintaining high standards in design documentation, technical drawings, and reports.
Essential Requirements:
Experience: A minimum of 7 years in highways, transport, or public realm design, with proven experience in consultancy or leadership roles.
Design Expertise: Strong technical expertise in creating detailed designs for highways and public realm projects, including knowledge of industry standards and relevant design software (e.g., AutoCAD)
Public Realm Focus: A strong portfolio of public realm projects demonstrating your ability to blend functional, accessible, and aesthetic elements in urban spaces.
Team Leadership: Demonstrated experience in managing and mentoring a team, with a focus on fostering a positive, collaborative working environment.
Analytical & Problem-Solving Skills: Strong ability to analyse complex design challenges and propose innovative, efficient solutions.
Qualifications: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Urban Design, Transport Planning, or a related field. Chartered status (e.g., ICE, CIHT) is preferred.
Why Join This Consultancy?
Smaller, Agile Team: You’ll work in a supportive, close-knit team where your ideas and contributions are valued. You’ll have the opportunity to take on more responsibility and have a direct impact on project outcomes.
Career Flexibility: This role offers the chance to develop in a direction that suits you—whether that’s taking on a management role, or continuing to lead as a technical expert in design.
Professional Development: You’ll have access to continuous training and development opportunities, with the potential for further career growth in both technical and leadership tracks.
Competitive Salary & Benefits: Attractive salary of £50,000 – £55,000 (negotiable dependant on experience), plus company pension, generous annual leave, and a discretionary annual bonus based on performance.
If you are a senior professional who is looking for a greater level of responsibility, wants to manage a small, talented team, and enjoys the flexibility to shape your career, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
