About the Role

We’re looking for a Transportation Engineer who enjoys taking complete streets and multimodal projects from concept to construction. This role is ideal for an engineer with strong PS&E delivery experience, advanced Civil 3D skills, and a passion for designing safer, more connected streets for all users.

Responsibilities

• Develop complete PS&E packages for multimodal and complete streets projects, including plan/profile sheets, details, signing & striping, ADA ramps, utilities, and MOT/traffic control plans
• Perform hands-on design using AutoCAD Civil 3D (corridors, alignments, surfaces, pipe networks, grading)
• Deliver model-based designs, manage sheet sets, and support QA/QC and agency reviews
• Prepare engineer’s cost estimates (OPCC & PS&E-level) and project specifications
• Apply AASHTO, NACTO, DOT, and municipal standards—adapting quickly to new agency criteria
• Coordinate closely with planners, landscape architects, urban designers, utilities, and public agencies

Projects You’ll Work On

• Multimodal corridors and complete streets featuring:
  • Protected bike lanes, buffered lanes, and shared-use paths
  • Sidewalks, curb extensions, crosswalks, and ADA improvements
  • Streetscape elements such as medians, trees, furnishings, and lighting coordination
  • Context-sensitive designs balancing vehicles, transit, bikes, and pedestrians in constrained ROW

Skills & Qualifications

• Expert knowledge of computer-assisted design and drafting (CADD) 3D and 4D software and practices
• Expert knowledge of engineering principles of design
• Expert knowledge of Microsoft business software (Excel, Word, etc.)
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Expert knowledge of federal, state, and local regulations
• Basic knowledge of design standards (AASHTO, NACTO, etc.)
• Bachelor's degree in Civil, Transportation, or Structural Engineering or related discipline
• Professional Engineering (PE) license
• 7 years of related experience
• Domestic and/or international travel may be required (10% or less)

Equivalent additional directly related experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience delivering complete PS&E / construction drawing packages
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD Civil 3D (corridors, surfaces, alignments, pipe networks, grading) with efficient model-based plan production
• Experience developing engineer’s cost estimates (OPCC and PS&E-level) and technical specifications
• Familiarity with state DOT and municipal design standards, and navigating agency review and QA/QC cycles
• Experience delivering complete streets and multimodal corridor projects, including bike, pedestrian, and streetscape elements
• Ability to balance vehicular, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian needs within constrained rights-of-way
• Knowledge of traffic calming, curb management, and multimodal safety strategies
• Experience coordinating with planning, landscape architecture, and urban design teams
• Ability to translate planning-level concepts into buildable construction documents
