We are looking for a Transportation Planner to join our dynamic team and help shape the future of mobility and infrastructure. As a Transportation Planner, you will be responsible for analyzing, designing, and implementing transportation systems that improve mobility, reduce congestion, and enhance the quality of life in urban and rural areas. You will work closely with government agencies, engineering firms, and community stakeholders to develop comprehensive transportation plans that align with environmental, economic, and social goals.
Your role will involve conducting traffic and transportation studies, forecasting travel demand, evaluating transportation policies, and recommending improvements to existing systems. You will also be expected to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), transportation modeling software, and data analytics tools to support your planning efforts. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will present findings and proposals to public officials, community groups, and other stakeholders.
The ideal candidate will have a background in urban planning, civil engineering, or a related field, with a strong understanding of transportation systems, land use planning, and sustainability principles. You should be detail-oriented, analytical, and capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously. Experience with public transportation planning, active transportation (walking and biking), and emerging mobility technologies is a plus.
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of sustainable and efficient transportation networks that meet the needs of growing populations and changing travel behaviors. If you are passionate about creating smarter, safer, and more connected communities, we encourage you to apply.
