Jordan has been with us for six months now and he is already an integral part of the team.
We caught up to get his thoughts following his first half a year.
“It’s hard to believe it’s already been six months since I joined Connect Consultants as a Graduate Transport Planner.
“I came in not entirely sure what to expect, university provided me with a solid foundation, but nothing really prepares you for the pace and variety of the real world.
“What’s struck me most is how much I’ve learned in such a short time, not just about transport planning itself, but how it fits into the wider picture.
“Working with clients, understanding local policies, and seeing how our work influences real-world outcomes.
“The team has been incredibly supportive, always willing to share knowledge and give me the space to grow.
“I’ve really enjoyed getting stuck into projects where I can see tangible results, whether that’s contributing towards a planning application or carrying out data analysis. It’s rewarding to know the work you’re doing helps make places more accessible and sustainable.
“Looking ahead, I’m excited to build my technical skills further and get more experience across different project types.
“My advice to other graduates? Don’t worry about knowing everything from day one. Curiosity, a willingness to ask questions, and a genuine interest in sustainability and accessibility is more important.”
Great to have you with us Jordan!
