We are looking for a Traffic Engineer to join our dynamic team and contribute to the planning, design, and implementation of traffic systems that ensure safe and efficient transportation. As a Traffic Engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing traffic patterns, developing traffic control plans, and collaborating with city planners, civil engineers, and public officials to improve roadway infrastructure.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in traffic engineering principles, transportation planning, and traffic signal design. You will use advanced modeling software and data analysis tools to assess traffic flow and recommend improvements. Your work will directly impact public safety, reduce congestion, and enhance the overall transportation experience for commuters and pedestrians alike.
In this role, you will conduct traffic impact studies, evaluate accident data, and design traffic signal timing plans. You will also be involved in the development of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and support the integration of emerging technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will present findings and recommendations to stakeholders, including government agencies and community members.
We are seeking someone who is detail-oriented, analytical, and passionate about creating sustainable and innovative transportation solutions. A professional engineering license (PE) or the ability to obtain one is highly desirable. Experience with software such as Synchro, VISSIM, and AutoCAD is a plus.
Join us in shaping the future of urban mobility and making a tangible difference in how people move through their communities.
