Job Advert
Opportunity for an Apprentice Transport Planning Technician (Level 3) to join our growing team in Bristol, BS1 4UA, in summer/ autumn 2025.
Transport planning helps develop the future shape of our towns and cities, considering how transport will link people with places. And that includes encouraging sustainable modes of transport wherever possible to replace journeys by car. Working through the planning process and beyond, we communicate complex issues to the public, developers and politicians to help sustainable development happen. Please check out the Services and Projects on our website for more and real examples of our work in action.
This is a BTEC Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship and on entry you will have at least 5 GCSEs at Grades 9 - 4 (A*-C) including English, Mathematics and Science or their equivalent. On successful completion of the apprenticeship and the end-point assessment, you will have satisfied the requirements for registration as an Engineering Technician (EngTech) and MCIHT. It is also mapped to the Transport Planning Society’s Professional Development requirements offering the opportunity to access a work-based route to a career as a professional transport planner. The typical duration is between 24 - 36 months and is delivered as a block release in person or blended learning programme, with a mandatory end-point assessment.
