Infrastructure Planner

An Infrastructure Planner develops and implements plans for infrastructure projects such as roads, utilities, and public facilities. You might work for government agencies, private firms, or consultancy companies. Infrastructure Planners analyse existing infrastructure, assess future needs, and design strategic plans to ensure efficient and sustainable development. You'll collaborate with engineers, architects, and urban planners to create comprehensive plans that meet regulatory requirements and address community needs.

Infrastructure Planners play a crucial role in shaping the built environment. You’ll need strong analytical skills and the ability to manage complex projects. Effective communication and teamwork are essential to coordinate with stakeholders and ensure that infrastructure projects are executed smoothly and meet all necessary standards.
