    The global leader in public transport infrastructure, SYSTRA has specialised in the mass transit and rail market since 1957. The main shareholders of SYSTRA are SNCF and RATP. Its ambition is to serve emerging needs for collective and sustainable mobility throughout the world. With a presence in 80 countries, SYSTRA manages over 3,000 projects for high-speed systems, traditional rail lines, metros and tramways throughout the world.

    The role

    Systra are currently recruiting for Social and Market Research Graduates to join our growing team. We are looking for an individual with an inquiring mind, a passion for social issues and an understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

    SYSTRA is an international consultancy with a specialist full-service social and market research team. Whilst much of our research circulates around transport, our real passion is understanding behavioural influencers and communicating these back to our clients, often senior policy makers in government. As such, in addition to the transport sector you will find yourself working on projects within the energy, environment, utilities, criminal justice and education sectors.

    This role would suit someone with academic or professional experience in the industry, keen to start or switch to a career in research.

    Responsibilities will include

    • Help to deliver a wide range of qualitative and quantitative research projects;
    • Contribute to research design and proposal writing;
    • Provide support in all aspects of research, including questionnaire design, in-depth interviews, focus group moderating, data analysis and report writing; and
    • Assist other teams within SYSTRA Ltd’s Consultancy Division, as and when required.

    To be successful in this role you will have

    • An understanding of both qualitative and quantitative research techniques;
    • A demonstrable interest in social and market research;
    • A demonstrable interest in transport, the environment and sustainability;
    • A relevant degree (with significant research, or mathematically based);
    • Evidence of strong numerical skills;
    • Attention to detail; and
    • Strong use of MS Office and preferably SPSS.

    Benefits

    In return you will have the chance to work across a wide range of projects, providing you with a chance to develop your skills in different technical and subject areas, and the opportunity to control and direct your career path through involvement in different projects and a range of in-house and external training.

    We offer a competitive salary with a comprehensive and attractive benefits package, opportunities for flexible working, and career development. The Social and Market Research team is based in our Woking office and, as such, regular attendance in Woking will be important for your technical development. However, a mixture of office and home working is available, as well as working from our other offices as and when appropriate.

    Please note that if you are successful there will be a graduate assessment day on the 23rd of February 2022

    Systra is an equal opportunities company; this position is open to all applicants.
