MRCagney

Senior or Principal Public Transport Planner - Australia/New Zealand

Job Description

MRCagney is a leading independent transport and planning consultancy, with a reputation for excellence and innovation across the fields of urban transport and mobility. We have offices in Brisbane, Melbourne and Auckland, and operate internationally in Asia, the Middle East and southern Africa.

From our inception, MRCagney has been involved extensively in complex urban mobility projects. Our company ethos is "mobilising people strengthening communities". This ethos is about making a positive, sustained contribution to the people and communities that we work with. We apply this passion and our 'people-first' approach to the places, towns, cities and countries in which we work.

Transport planning to us is about people, not numbers, and we specialise in providing pragmatic, real-world advice that our clients can follow with confidence. Our services range from strategic management and business consulting through to technical transport, planning, urban design, and engineering.

About this role

We are seeking an enthusiastic public transport planner to join our team in Auckland, New Zealand or in Brisbane, Australia, and be an integral part of our growth as we seek to make a difference to the cities and communities around us. From either location, you will assist on projects both locally and throughout New Zealand and Australia.

We will offer a competitive salary commensurate with your skills and experience. As an independent, staff-owned company, our workplace culture supports flexible working arrangements (including part-time roles) and the open sharing of ideas on how to continually improve the services we offer.

About You

You are a public transport professional who is looking to take the next step in their career. Maybe you want to break away from the stifling environment of a large international consultancy, or maybe you're looking to step outside of the confines of the public sector; no matter what your background, we offer opportunities and flexibility that few of our competitors can match.

But first, you will have to meet this list of basic criteria. We know it's long, but we value our current team and it is really important to us that we hire the right person to join us.

• You'll need at least three years' professional experience in public transport planning. This includes: network planning – understanding the patronage versus coverage trade-offs; public transport infrastructure design; and/ or operational planning, including timetabling and scheduling.
• Previous experience in a consultancy environment will be well regarded.
• You will hold tertiary qualifications in an appropriate technical field, which might be engineering, urban/town planning, geography or something else we haven't thought of yet.
• You might be a technologically savvy person with added skills in the areas of data analysis, spatial analysis (GIS), transport modelling or graphic design. We like people with extra skills, so if you have them, tell us about them.
• You'll be expected to assist on projects throughout New Zealand and Australia, and possibly internationally. This may require occasional business travel. Having the ability to travel and work freely in Australia and New Zealand will be well regarded.
• You'll have to work collaboratively and collegiately; with our staff, our project partners and our clients.
• And finally, you will most definitely need to be able to communicate effectively in English, both written and verbally. This one's important.

About Applying

If you've read everything above and think this is the job for you, please get in touch. We want to know all about you, so a well written cover letter is essential: tell us about your experiences, your passions, your goals and what it is you will bring to our team.

So get inspired, get writing, and email your letter and latest CV to us here at auckland@mrcagney.com by 15 August 2016.
