As a Transport Planning Apprentice, you’ll be part of a collaborative team helping to plan how people travel and how transport can better connect communities, support economic growth and contribute to a more sustainable future.
From day one, you’ll combine your apprenticeship studies with hands-on experience across a diverse range of transport planning projects. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you’ll learn how transport planners use evidence, data and innovative thinking to understand challenges and develop solutions that make a positive difference to people and places.
Your development will be supported throughout your apprenticeship. We don’t expect you to have all the skills or technical knowledge from day one. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and learn from the people around you, gradually taking on greater responsibility as your experience develops.
Through your studies and practical project experience, you’ll build the skills and knowledge needed for a rewarding career in transport planning. You’ll have opportunities to recognise and celebrate your progress along the way, while contributing to projects that can create more connected, inclusive and sustainable places for the future.
If you are successful and are offered an apprenticeship with us, you will enrol onto the BSc (Hons) Transport Planning degree course at Northeastern University London. The course is offered as online learning with one per of in-person teaching in London annually.
As a paid degree apprentice, you’ll gain hands-on experience working on real projects while studying towards your degree. You’ll develop your technical and professional skills alongside experienced engineers, applying what you learn through your studies directly in the workplace.
As well as the eligibility criteria detailed above, we are looking for future apprentices with the following strengths:
An apprenticeship should be more than just a job. We know this and so do you. That’s why with our apprenticeship roles we aim to give you the experience and technical knowledge you need to progress your career. From the moment you join us, you’ll receive the training you need.

Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is as a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024.
Our ethos is to develop, train and retain our apprentices and therefore we are looking for a long-term relationship with our apprentices. For this reason, we cannot accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.
We continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK, that do not require sponsorship as a Skilled Worker now or in future.
CVs and cover letters are not required as part of the application process. Candidates will be assessed through a single-stage strengths-based interview.
These opportunities are for our offices in England and Wales.
In your application form, you will be asked to select your preferred discipline, sector, and location.
We want you to feel supported and able to perform at your best throughout our recruitment process. If there is anything we can do to make applying or interviewing with us more accessible, please contact us at reasonable.adjustments@mottmac.com and we'll be happy to discuss how we can help.
We personally review every completed application form we receive as this part of our selection process is entirely human-led. We do not use AI tools at this stage and kindly expect you not to either. We want you to answer each application question with authenticity so we can get to know the real you.
