Transport Planner (Data/Strategy)

Transport Planner – Data/Strategy

Ealing Council has published an ambitious Climate and Ecological Emergency Strategy, and we are working on a new Transport Strategy. Supporting active and sustainable travel is a key goal, with our work focusing on cycling, walking, public transport and electric vehicles.

To support these goals, we are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated individual to manage and analyse transport data, to inform our strategy and help us fulfil our ambitions. As part of Ealing’s award-winning Transport Planning team, you will work with data on active and sustainable transport projects, enabling more people to walk, wheel, cycle and use public transport in the borough.

We are looking for someone organised and self-motivated, with good data analysis skills and familiarity with tools like Excel and GIS. You will need to handle a varied workload, as this role involves both policy and statistical analysis, including contributing to the Local Implementation Plan, mapping datasets, and collecting and monitoring transport KPIs such as road casualty data. You will have a keen interest in sustainability and/or transport. You will have either a relevant degree (environmental studies, transport planning, or a related discipline) or equivalent experience.

It's an exciting time to join Ealing. We are the third largest London borough by population, with many diverse communities and seven key town centres. We have ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis, create good jobs, and fight inequality. We are involved in major transport projects such as High Speed 2, Heathrow Airport surface access, and large-scale new developments in Old Oak Common and Southall. The Transport Planning team is delivering key projects including electric vehicle charging, bike hangars, School Streets, micromobility, cargo bike schemes and strategic transport improvements, and we’d love you to join us.

This role will work on a hybrid basis with the rest of the Transport Planning team, with time split between the office in Ealing Broadway and remote working. We offer training opportunities and flexible working.

This role is subject to enhanced vetting check. 

You must have the right to work in the UK.  Evidence for the right to work in the UK will be requested at the interview stage.

Ealing Council is committed to creating good jobs and delivering on its connected communities’ agenda. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive.

We therefore welcome applications from all residents of the borough, we particularly welcome applications from candidates who are entering the employment market in the early stages of their career and mid-career professionals, who are currently underrepresented in Ealing’s workforce.

Please note all applications will be determined on merit.

It is an exciting time to join us, here at Ealing Council. If you would like to make a positive difference to our residents and borough, then we’re looking forward to hearing from you.

Closing date for applications:  10 July 2026
