Senior Traffic Engineer

HDR

Senior Traffic Engineer

At HDR, our employee-owners are fully engaged in creating a welcoming environment where each of us is valued and respected, a place where everyone is empowered to bring their authentic selves and novel ideas to work every day. As we foster a culture of inclusion throughout our company and within our communities, we constantly ask ourselves: What is our impact on the world? Each and every role throughout our organization makes a difference in our ability to change the world for the better. We believe transportation is more than movement, it's the foundation of connected, thriving communities. As part of HDR's Transportation Business Group, you'll help shape the systems that move people and goods safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

In the role of Senior Traffic Engineer, we'll count on you to:

  • Perform complex traffic engineering projects, exercise sound engineering judgment, and preparation of Plans, Specifications and Estimates (PS&E) documents
  • Perform traffic design tasks, including development of conceptual signing, striping, traffic signal, lighting, Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), temporary traffic control, and construction phasing
  • Make decisions on design and engineering procedures, as needed
  • Serve as a technical expert and task lead on large, complex projects
  • Coordinate design issues with clients and work with the project team to develop solutions to technical challenges
  • Plan and manage all aspects of small to medium single-discipline projects or large tasks for regional projects, though project management is not sole focus of position
  • Independently coordinate work of engineers and balance team workload throughout entire project's development
  • Establish client relationships, and be involved with marketing, contractual, design and production meetings
  • Participate in reviews with various governing agencies for compliance
  • Conduct work sessions for design development and contract documents in conjunction with other staff
  • Coordinate workload through entire project development, and ensure completion of documents on schedule
  • Track financial aspects of projects, and coordinate and adjust work effort with team to ensure that work is completed within parameters of agreed-to schedule

Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree
  • A minimum of 10 years' experience in ITS and traffic engineering for urban and rural highways, major and minor interchanges and intersections
  • Requires professional engineering license recognized by the licensing board for the location of the position offered. Example: Professional Engineer (PE or P.Eng) license.
  • Knowledge of regulations of state and federal transportation agencies
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office
  • Experience using HCS, CORSIM, Synchro/SIM Traffic and other software packages
  • Strong oral and written communication skills, presentation skills and ability to work in a team environment
  • An attitude and commitment to being an active participant of our employee-owned culture is a must

HDR is our company. Together, we build on each other's life experiences and perspectives to make great things possible every day. This shapes our collaborative culture, encourages organizational trust and connects us closer to the clients and communities we serve. Our eight Employee Network Groups (Asian Pacific, Black, Hispanic/Latino(a), LGBTQ+, People with Disabilities, Veterans, Women, Young Professionals) help create a sense of belonging and foster a supportive environment where everyone is empowered to engage and contribute. Each group has an executive sponsor and is open to all employees.

We provide a comprehensive benefits package that promotes employee ownership, employee health, performance, and success, which includes medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability, life insurance, an employee assistance program, paid time away, parental leave, paid holidays, a retirement savings plan with employer match, employee referral bonus and tuition reimbursement. The expected compensation range for this position depends upon skills, experience, education and geographical location. (Stated benefits are for full-time regular positions. Temporary and part-time roles eligible for limited benefits.)
