Rachel Stout
Having joined i-Transport as a graduate transport planner, the comprehensive on-the-job and targeted training programme provided enabled me to be promoted to a Senior Consultant within 3.5 years. Being based in the London office, I have been given the opportunity to work on a range of projects including strategic housing sites across London and the southeast, brownfield redevelopment in London and a number of state and private school extensions. I am now a mentor to our new graduates, manage my own projects, and have client contacts come directly to me for advice.
