Planning Engineer Interview Questions

6,726 planning engineer interview questions shared by candidates

A scenario question was given regarding a new transmission corridor they wanted permitted in one year through multiple jurisdictions. They wanted me to answer what the permit process would be and if the deadline was achievable having no information on the environmental context or the location of the alignment to give any informed advise - it was if they wanted me to react to how uninformed and unrealistic they were and how I could tell them what they wanted to hear while not telling them anything. The last questions was also bizarre and about others perception of me from my perspective. I asked if they were asking me about what I thought others might be thinking of when they think about me and they seemed upset that I reframed their question to try to make sense of it. I let them that what I think others might think of me was just not something I worry about very much.

Interview was fine, asked for STAR response to the questions. Standard question of incorporating organisational values (they wanted a scenario where I had exhibited at least two of theirs). Roughly 5-6 questions.
