Undergraduate Transport Consultant 

2023/24 – Casual position

SCT Consulting is looking for recruits to join our exciting and growing transport advisory business. We work across the public and private sectors, providing transport advice from when the project is just an idea through to checking if it works once it’s built and operating.

What will your day-to-day look like?

No two days are the same at SCT Consulting, though a typical day may involve:

• Turning up when it suits you, we’re a pretty flexible team whether it's working from the office, home or somewhere in the sun. Though you might want to make it in time for the morning team coffee run. 
• Flicking through the latest strategies from NSW Government or Local Council and think about how they help a development we’re supporting or prioritise a cycleway we’re proposing.
• Diving into a transport model or design development for some of Sydney’s flagship projects, whether it be Sydney Metro, NorthConnex or key precincts such as The Bays and Redfern-North Eveleigh.
• Debating where the team is going for lunch, then jump into our weekly games series – we’re a tad competitive. 
• In the afternoon you might get dragged into an urgent request on a regional hospital or a new school we’re helping get across the line.
• In between all this, you’ll learn how to decipher data, analyse data in GIS and get plenty of exposure presenting to clients. Don’t worry you’ll be supported the entire time by a very approachable team who loves a chat.  
• Depending on the day, we might wrap up with a few cocktails, cheese and dips.

Enough about us, let’s talk about you…  

Do you ride public transport for the fun of it or turn up the day a new transport service is opened? 

Are you slightly addicted to the game “Cities: Skylines” or binged on “Utopia”? 

You’re inquisitive, meticulous and a little bit of a nerd when it comes to all things transport?

If any of the above are you, you’ll fit right in. Though don’t worry we’re still keen to hear from you anyway if you:

• Are you an undergraduate (we’re flexible on dates or days) and are available to start mid-2023?
• Have a knack for deciphering data and telling a compelling story
• Have a basic understanding of (or interest in) transport – whether it be planning, modelling or engineering from your university course
• Have a can-do attitude to new or diverse tasks.

Why us? 

Looking beyond the range of projects every consultancy advertises, we’re a diverse group who have built our and the company’s reputation on being responsive, versatile and technically savvy. You’ll work (and learn) side by side with the senior leaders of the business (quite often they’ll pull up a chair next to you to chat). You’ll be exposed to a wide variety of transport projects and clients, which in time would become your projects and clients. Most importantly you’ll have a say in the types of projects you want to work on and how the company evolves.
