Principal Consultant
Who we are
Momentum is an integrated transport consultancy, based in London and with offices in Bristol, Houston and Montreal. Our three core specialisms of planning, analytics and engineering are bound together by our shared vision to improve the environments we live, work and play in.
We’re at the forefront of fighting climate change and are proud of the way we work with our clients every day to push sustainability boundaries and challenge ourselves to do things better. As part of all the projects we work on, we look at how to reduce and minimise the predicted impacts from the development and project. Every day our work ensures more people can travel sustainably, while also creating safe, liveable, well-planned and equitable places and neighbourhoods.
We work on some of the most exciting and challenging development planning and infrastructure projects in London and cities around the world – from large commercial skyscrapers to sports stadiums and major
events. We are highly regarded by our clients, who include major developers, architects, contractors and local authorities.
We are an Equal Opportunities employer and a Level 1 Disability Confident organisation, fostering an environment free from discrimination. If you meet the essential criteria, we’ll guarantee you an interview. If you need reasonable adjustments during the process, tell us and we’ll make it happen.
