It fosters a culture of ownership and entrepreneurialism, where each of us has a vested stake in the success of our company and one another.

As an Assistant Traffic Engineer in our traffic group, you will work under the supervision of a licensed professional engineer (PE) and Professional Traffic Operations Engineer (PTOE) to assist multidisciplinary project teams across the public and private sectors.

In this role you will be exposed to the full spectrum of traffic operations, traffic safety, and transportation projects including traffic forecasting and modeling, intersection and signal design, safety studies, ADA and trail design, and planning studies. You will have the opportunity to develop safe, efficient, and reliable transportation systems that will serve all modes of travel within our communities and the country for years to come. To be successful you will need to be capable and interested in learning a variety of new skills through both mentorship and independent review of multiple documents from national best practices to client-specific standards. You will have to think critically to apply those standards to the given project to develop exceptional quality construction plans and effectively communicate the methods and results through presentations, memos, and reports.
