What You’ll Do:

  • Oversee the City’s multimodal traffic engineering program, including safety and operational analyses.
  • Manage roadway safety studies, intersection improvements, and traffic calming initiatives.
  • Review and approve traffic engineering studies, control devices, temporary traffic control plans, and special permits.
  • Develop and implement solutions to reduce congestion and enhance safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
  • Collaborate with City leadership, departments, and the community to ensure responsive, data-driven transportation solutions.
  • Lead updates to traffic policies, standards, and enforcement tools to keep Sandy Springs moving safely.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering with specialization in transportation/traffic (Master’s preferred).
  • Seven (7) years of experience in traffic or transportation engineering (Master’s degree may substitute for two years).
  • Georgia Professional Engineer (PE) license required; PTOE and RSP certifications preferred.
  • Strong background in traffic software (Synchro, VISSIM, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, etc.) and project management.
  • Proven ability to lead programs, manage projects, and communicate technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
  • Commitment to innovative, data-driven solutions and to staying current with industry best practices.

Perks & Benefits:
• Two competitive medical plan options for you and your family, along with dental and vision coverage
• 10 paid holidays per year, plus 1 floating holiday
• Accrued paid vacation and sick leave
• City-paid life and AD&D insurance, short-term disability, and long-term disability
• A City-paid Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• A robust retirement savings program: the City contributes 12% of your base salary to a 401(a) plan and matches up to 5% of your contributions to a 457(b) plan
• Tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 per year after one year of service toward a relevant degree
• Access to an on-site gym
