Job Description

Travel Plan Coordinator / Assistant

Norwich
27,000 - 42,000 (flexible based on experience)
Hybrid Working



Overview

My client is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Travel Plan Coordinator / Assistant to join a growing transport and planning consultancy. This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in delivering travel plans that promote sustainable travel behaviour and meet planning obligations.

This position has become available due to increased project demand and a recent team departure, making it a critical hire within a close-knit team of professionals. If you are passionate about sustainability and eager to make a tangible difference, we encourage you to apply.

Most importantly, my client is seeking someone who is:

  • Passionate about sustainability and behaviour change.
  • Motivated to make a meaningful impact.
  • Eager to learn and grow within the role.


Benefits

  • Competitive salary ranging from 27,000 to 42,000, depending on experience.
  • Flexible hybrid working arrangement (initially office-based for onboarding, transitioning to 2 days WFH).
  • Opportunity to work in a supportive and collaborative team environment.
  • Professional development opportunities to enhance your skills and career growth.
  • The chance to contribute to meaningful projects that promote sustainability and positive change.


Day-to-Day

Your typical day will involve:

  • Collaborating with team members to develop and implement travel plans.
  • Liaising with local authorities, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure compliance with planning conditions.
  • Analysing data and preparing reports to support travel plan initiatives.
  • Creating engaging materials to promote sustainable travel options.
  • Participating in team meetings and contributing to the overall success of the consultancy.


Responsibilities

As a Travel Plan Coordinator, you will:

  • Support the delivery of travel plans for new developments, ensuring compliance with planning obligations.
  • Coordinate planning-related documentation to meet local authority requirements.
  • Engage with stakeholders to promote sustainable travel options and behaviour change initiatives.
  • Assist in encouraging the use of public transport, cycling, walking, and other sustainable travel modes.
  • Produce high-quality reports and materials for client submissions and internal use.

This role requires a combination of technical understanding, organisational skills, and effective communication, rather than being purely analytical or design-focused.



Qualifications

  • Some experience or understanding of the UK planning system and planning conditions.
  • Strong attention to detail and excellent organisational skills.
  • Proficiency in using Excel for data handling.
  • Exposure to Adobe tools (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) for report production (beneficial but not essential).
  • Familiarity with transport planning software (e.g., PRICS or similar) is a plus.

If you are ready to take the next step in your career and are passionate about making a difference in the transport and planning sector, we would love to hear from you.

Apply now to take the first step of joining a dynamic team and help shape the future of sustainable travel.
