About the Role
As an Urban Designer at Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team including designers, engineers, technicians, and other specialists.

Urban Designers at the Trust often lead community engagement related to infrastructure design, involving communities and partners early to shape outcomes that work for local people.
