Graduate Advisor – Movement Strategies

Are you keen to develop your career in pedestrian movement and modelling? Does the opportunity to work in stadia, healthcare, transport, culture and security sectors, to name a few, in a fast paced, innovative environment sound like the step you are looking for? As part of our rapid growth in the UK and Middle East, we are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Graduate Advisor to work within our Movement Consulting team.

Working with the UK Advisory team, this position offers the opportunity to support the development of the Movement Strategies presence and market share as part of GHD’s global growth.

People movement is not simply a theoretical exercise. It changes the way individuals experience spaces, which not only improves their visit, but makes the space safer, more efficient and more profitable. We work with many high-profile clients and on projects across the globe to make better buildings, places and communities. Our understanding of people movement allowed us to support our clients with their response to COVID-19 and continues to influence the shape of the world around us.
