Own Your Career as a Transport Planner
We're looking for someone who's serious about transport planning. This is a dedicated Senior Transport Planner role designed for professionals with more than five years' experience who want to deepen their technical expertise, lead projects, and grow into a leadership position with purpose.
At Crossley Transport Planning, we don't generalise — we specialise. Our work centres on movement and place, walking and cycling strategy, accessibility, and building evidence-led, people-centred transport outcomes. If your ambition is to become a leading transport planner, not a "planning all-rounder," we want to meet you.
What You'll Be Doing
* Lead and deliver projects such as Healthy Streets audits, PAMPs, WIPs, Movement and Place assessments, and integrated transport strategies
* Manage client relationships and project teams, with support from the Director and Commercial and Operations Manager.
* Mentor junior transport planners, helping them grow into confident, capable professionals while building your own leadership skills
* Own the technical narrative — translating evidence and policy into real-world, place-sensitive recommendations
* Support stakeholder engagement and report writing, including consultation summaries and visual deliverables
* Contribute to proposals and planning for future growth, with the opportunity to build your professional identity
You Should Apply If You Have:
* More than five years' experience in transport planning (consultancy experience preferred)
* A degree in transport planning, urban planning, geography, or a related field
* A proven interest and career focus in transport systems, street function, and accessibility
* Experience working with local and/or state government in Australia
* Excellent communication, report writing, and stakeholder engagement skills
* Confidence managing timelines, clients, and junior team members
* A clear desire to become a senior specialist or technical leader in the transport planning field
This is not a hybrid planning/urban design role. We're seeking career transport planners.
Essential Qualifications
* A tertiary qualification in transport planning, urban planning, geography, engineering, or a related discipline
* More than five years' professional experience in transport planning (preferably within a consultancy)
* Demonstrated commitment to transport planning as a specialist field, with a focus on movement systems, accessibility, and place-based outcomes
Core Competencies
* Proven experience in the delivery of active and sustainable transport strategies, including Walking Infrastructure Plans (WIPs), PAMPs, and Healthy Streets or Movement and Place assessments
* Strong technical writing and report preparation skills, with the ability to translate data and policy into clear, actionable recommendations
* Experience managing or contributing to stakeholder engagement, including workshops, briefings, and consultation summaries
* Working knowledge of Australian transport and design policy frameworks, including NSW and Austroads guidance
* Ability to independently manage projects or project components, including timelines, deliverables, and client liaison
* Strong interpersonal skills and willingness to mentor junior transport planners
* Intermediate GIS skills for spatial analysis, mapping walking and cycling networks, catchment areas, and visualising audit outcomes
Desirable
* Working toward or interest in pursuing chartership (e.g., TPP)
* Understanding of inclusive design, infrastructure auditing, or user experience methodologies
