Description

We are seeking a new team member at Consultant or Assistant Consultant level to support our growing Freight and Logistics team.

In this role you will provide day-to-day support across a diverse portfolio of freight and logistics projects, potentially spanning one or more of the following areas:

  • Freight policy and strategy - supporting clients to develop robust evidence bases and providing advice aligned with national, regional and local policy frameworks.
  • Freight infrastructure – assisting with studies and business cases to improve the freight system, including key freight routes, lorry parking and amenities, and rail freight terminals.
  • Urban freight – helping clients enable efficient last-mile operations while balancing placemaking, highway safety and public realm priorities.
  • Logistics planning – supporting the design and implementation of optimised logistics operations in complex or specialist environments, such as healthcare facilities and major infrastructure projects.
  • Freight decarbonisation – supporting policymakers, infrastructure investors and operators in the transition to zero-emission freight and logistics fleets.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

  • A genuine interest in shaping the future of freight and logistics systems, including the role of policy, technology and innovation.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience applying quantitative or structured approaches to complex, real-world challenges.
  • The ability to think critically in unfamiliar subject areas and develop clear, evidence-based insights.
  • Comfortable developing bespoke approaches to suit individual projects rather than relying on standard solutions.
  • Able to work across multiple subject areas at pace, managing competing priorities and switching context effectively.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear, compelling reports and presentations.
  • An agile and proactive mindset,asking the right questions, adapting to changing priorities, and identifying risks early.

Your Team

We are a small, friendly and progressive team, bringing together a broad mix of grades, disciplines and backgrounds, with a strong culture of collaboration and mentorship.

Benefits

We invest in your development, offering a dedicated business mentor, access to structured internal CPD, and full support through your Chartership journey (where applicable)
