AECOM

Senior Transport Modeller

Job Description

What we do:

“One of the really great things I enjoy working with AECOM is that in my daily work I encounter a wide range of problems, and am given the freedom to experiment and innovate to find a solution.  I feel that I am making a difference.”

This is what we do in the Modelling and Appraisal team. In the spirit of AECOM trying to ‘deliver a better world’ we are trying to improve the transport of today for a better tomorrow. Whether we are assessing the impact of town development on a transport network or identifying synergies and inter-dependencies between schemes; we are working collaboratively with the rest of our 30+ transport planning colleagues across Scotland and the rest of the teams in the UK and AECOM to create innovative solutions to the problems our clients are having.

We have:

•    A strong team of experts to work with and learn from

•    A variety of different teams and opportunities within AECOM for whatever career pathway you want to take

•    Exciting projects (some not so exciting, let’s be honest) to work on ranging from local, national and international problems to solve to keep you busy

•    A flexible working policy – work/life balance is the key!

•    A break out area to socialise in and an on-site café get fresh food from when it is raining and you don’t want to go outside

•    Dedicated mentors to help support you in your future training 

•    A Sports & Social Club, offering summer BBQ’s, bowling, and visits to the Fringe to name a few

•    A comprehensive internal training programme to teach you what you may want to learn but haven’t had the chance to yet

•    And last but not least, an on-site low cost 24 hour gym, with additional corporate discount

Minimum Requirements

You need:

•    As a Senior Consultant you will be expected to mentor graduates, impart your wisdom and check tasks undertaken by your more junior colleagues

•    You should have the ability to handle the project management of smaller projects, including cost control and client liaison

•    You will have an analytical mind and background – you want to know the why’s and wherefores of things – especially if they transport related;

•    You will have knowledge and experience in transport modelling and forecasting and experience in appraisal and evaluation of transport proposals;

•    You have used and have good knowledge of simulation software packages e.g. SATURN, PARAMICS, CUBE, EMME, VISSIM, TUBA and spreadsheet modelling to name a few;

•    You are good at managing your time to ensure you meet those pesky deadlines;

•    You need to have strong technical and report writing skills;

•    And you should be able to explain technical concepts to others, especially our graduates and anyone else who may ask…

Preferred Qualifications

It would be great if you had:

•    Membership or working towards membership of a chartered professional institution such as CIHT, TPS, CILT or ICE

•    A Master’s degree or PhD in Transport Planning or related subject/social based discipline
