Overview

We are seeking a Senior Traffic Engineer to play a key role in expanding and strengthening our transportation practice in our Edison, NJ office. This position offers the opportunity to help build and shape our in-house traffic capabilities in support of bridge, roadway, and infrastructure projects throughout NJ and NY, particularly for NJDOT and NYSDOT clients. In addition this role is intended for a well-rounded infrastructure professional who is comfortable operating beyond traditional traffic engineering boundaries when project or practice needs require.

The successful candidate will work closely with structural, civil, and infrastructure teams to integrate traffic engineering into projects from planning and concept development through final design and construction.

  • Assist with agency coordination and client engagement related to traffic and work zone impacts

  • Signal design and timing experience preferred
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD preferred; MicroStation experience is a plus
  • Ability to manage multiple assignments, mentor junior staff and work as part of team.
