Enroute is a volunteer-led group promoting sustainable transport in Great Britain through research, campaigning, engagement, and general advocacy.

Transport Analyst

This opportunity is ongoing, with no end date.

Enroute is seeking enthusiastic individuals with subject-matter expertise, exciting ideas, and a commitment to sustainability to join its voluntary, remote research team on a flexible basis. Successful applicants will develop an original research piece on a transport-related topic of their choice over an initial 2–4 month period, receiving support, feedback, and a platform to publish and promote their work. Participants will work around five hours per week, share ideas with the wider team, and have the opportunity to join long-term after completing their first piece. Prior transport industry experience is welcome but not essential.

Enroute is looking to develop and publish thoughtful, insightful and original research and analysis into transport issues. We are looking for enthusiastic and knowledgeable people with subject-matter expertise, exciting ideas and a commitment to sustainability to join us on a flexible basis and contribute to our work.

If you have an idea or research topic you would like to develop into a research piece, we will offer you support, feedback and a platform to publish and promote your work. You will join our research team on a flexible basis, for an initial 2-4 months whilst you develop and write your research. You will also learn about our process and ongoing work, share your ideas and receive support and feedback from the wider team. We are a young, energetic and supportive team which encourages new ideas and will bounce ideas off you too. You should expect to work for approximately five hours per week for the duration of your placement, though this is highly flexible. If you need time off for any reason, you just need to let us know.

Once you have finished your first piece, should you wish to, you will have the option of joining the team on a long-term basis.

Please note this role is voluntary and remote. Experience in the transport industry is desirable, but not essential. Your background in your chosen subject does not need to include work experience, and could include volunteering, previous research or strong general interest. We welcome those with a wider interest in transport and an appreciation of how your chosen subject fits into the wider picture.
