You won’t just review designs, you’ll shape safer journeys for thousands of people, every day.
In this role, you’ll be a critical voice in how infrastructure is designed, built, and experienced—ensuring safety is never an afterthought.

In return, you’ll benefit from clear career progression into senior and principal roles, full support to achieve Road Safety Audit qualifications, and the flexibility of hybrid working so you can perform at your best. With opportunities to contribute to projects across the UK and internationally, including the Middle East—you’ll gain exposure, variety, and the chance to shape safer transport networks while growing your reputation as a specialist in your field.
