In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll contribute to the delivery of high-quality highway advice on planning applications, working both independently and as part of a collaborative team. You’ll support the negotiation and project management of highway agreements and development-related Travel Plans, while also helping to mentor and develop junior colleagues.
Strong communication will be key, as you engage with District Councils, developers, elected Members, colleagues and the public through meetings, correspondence and calls.

Alongside this, you’ll assist in preparing technical reports, committee papers and planning appeal documentation, ensuring that clear, well-informed advice supports decision-making and delivers positive outcomes for Hampshire’s communities.
