- Lead or support technical delivery of projects, including traffic analysis, design, and documentation.
- Serve as a technical lead or project manager, assigning tasks, answering technical questions, and ensuring quality and schedule adherence.

- Develop and contribute to companywide standards and best practices in traffic engineering.
- Make independent design decisions and coordinate with other disciplines to ensure seamless integration.
- Identify and help resolve technical, budgetary, or schedule-related issues early and proactively.
- Participate in construction support, including contractor coordination, field reviews, and responses to RFIs.
- Prepare or contribute to change orders, addenda, and bid packages.
- Assist in proposal preparation, including scoping, cost estimating, and scheduling.
- Communicate directly with clients on technical matters, providing trusted guidance and expertise.
- Stamp and seal engineering documents in accordance with licensure.
- Mentor and support junior engineers and technical staff to help grow internal capabilities.
- Represent the firm in technical associations, conferences, or community outreach as appropriate.
- Support business development by leveraging your technical knowledge to position the firm for new opportunities.
What You Bring:
- 8+ years of technical experience in traffic engineering and transportation projects.
- Proven ability to lead technical work and mentor others.
- Strong communication skills and comfort interacting with clients, teams, and stakeholders.
- Familiarity with relevant traffic design tools and industry standards.
This is a non-supervisory leadership role, ideal for an experienced engineer looking to deepen their impact through both project delivery and mentorship. You'll have the opportunity to shape high-visibility work, help grow the next generation of traffic engineering talent and position yourself on a clear pathway to future leadership roles within the organization.
