Key Notes
Strategic models and economic appraisal support transport projects across Northern Ireland and Great Britain in this Belfast post. The team develops Local Transport Plans and assesses bus, rail, road, active-travel and public-realm interventions, alongside client digital and Net Zero work. The full-time role seeks a modelling background, with tools such as CUBE, SATURN, EMME/2 and VISUM listed as examples.
What You'll Work On
- Provide transport-modelling support across Northern Ireland and Great Britain, contributing to Local Transport Plans and assessment of multimodal scheme options.
- Support development and application of complex models with the modelling team, working alongside specialists from the wider Movement & Place practice.
- Contribute transport evidence to policy, scheme-performance reviews and regeneration or infrastructure projects as part of multidisciplinary delivery teams.
Why This Role Matters
- Bus, rail, road and active-travel proposals in Local Transport Plans are assessed through modelling and appraisal, giving public bodies evidence with which to compare intervention options.
- Transport schemes and regeneration projects need evidence on their performance; modelling support helps clients monitor outcomes and review whether the schemes are meeting their policy objectives.
What They Are Looking For
- Technical: Relevant technical skills include strategic modelling packages such as CUBE, SATURN, EMME/2 and VISUM, demand modelling and COBA/TUBA economic evaluation.
- Experience: A transport-modelling background and experience delivering within time and budget constraints are sought.
- Stakeholder: Analytical problem-solving, report-writing, collaboration and the ability to work independently are sought.
