**About the Role**

The Principal Transport Planner will play an important role in shaping the future transport system in some of Victoria’s fastest growing areas and ensure the network contributes to the objectives of the Transport Integration Act. Working closely with the DTP regions, modal planning teams and with transport, place and land use planners at state and local level, the role will lead a program to identify, prioritise and develop infrastructure and non-infrastructure initiatives to address immediate and long-term challenges and which contribute towards a holistic, place-based vision.
The role will need to consider land use and transport challenges in an integrated manner and will be responsible for generating robust, evidence-based pathways on how best to support an efficient, sustainable and inclusive network over multiple time horizons.
The role not only requires an excellent knowledge of strategic transport modelling tools and techniques to consider under what circumstances future initiatives and investments are appropriate, but also have a strong understanding of Movement & Place principles in order to capture and understand the broader social, environmental, and economic outcomes that any future initiatives may influence.

The Principal Transport Planner will be a highly motivated professional, capable of working with a high degree of autonomy and experienced in delivering, collaborating and communicating complex information across a broad range of stakeholders.
