Responsibilities include capacity analyses, reviewing permitting, and engaging in the design, concept development, and construction of roadways, traffic patterns, and traffic signal design and timing. Provides situational guidance to PMs and managers that address current and future challenges, and that documentation and recommendations accurately account for and address risk, innovation, and sustainable opportunities. Provides leadership with ensuring that responsibilities are delivered and adhered to with a level of quality that meets or exceeds acceptable industry standards for design, safety, and functionality.
Job Duties and Responsibilities:
- Provide oversight with collecting, compiling, and analyzing data from the physical work site, surveys, blueprints, GIS data, maps, technical data, and other matrices for project development, design, and construction.
- Apply high-level professional, civil, and traffic engineering techniques and processes to identify improvements for various project phases involving more complex roadway transportation engineering work including concept development, preliminary design, final design, procurement, construction, and operation.
- Perform professional traffic engineering work and conduct more complex/comprehensive investigations and inspections of proposed and existing site conditions, roadways, intersections, signage, signals, pavement markings, and transportation corridors to determine conformance with applicable rules, standards, and construction or operating permits.
- Develop and design innovative concepts for larger scale complex intersection and strategic corridor improvements, including near term initiatives and longer-term capital improvement projects and studies that require coordination with authorities, subconsultants, and clients.
- Design larger-scale more involved traffic layout, communications networks, and traffic signal improvements to facilitate remote, real time corridor operations. Involved from project inception to completion in the management of design and construction of traffic projects, including pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction, grading, drainage, pavement design, specifications, phasing, and construction safety plans.
- Oversees the development and implementation of advanced technologies, monitoring devices, modeling techniques, design requirements, and operating strategies to account for the safety and functionality or end-users, transportation vehicles/systems, and implementing sustainable solutions with traffic engineering design standards.
- Lead larger-scale engineering projects ensuring contributors know what they are required to do and by when, preparing and overseeing relevant project budgets, monitoring external events, tracking hours and expenses, ensuring satisfactory performance, and supervising subcontractors, contract work, and employees.
- Verify the characteristics of more complex sites, providing technical assistance on larger-scale traffic engineering studies, capacity analyses, traffic complaint investigation, traffic plan review, signal system design, monitoring and control, and operations analysis to ensure roadways are designed in a safe and efficient way and the driver is provided with all of the necessary information and safety metrics to help ensure that their driving experience is safe and efficient.
- Assist with engineering review of permit applications, engineering design plans and specifications, standby plans and engineering contracts, integrated waste management plans, and periodic construction inspections, to ensure that they comply with applicable state and/or federal regulations and sound engineering practice and standards.
- Work closely with developers, builders, and community stakeholders as a “trusted advisor” to determine the impact that a new structure, development, or construction project might have on the road system and makes recommendations to mitigate or offset the impact.
- Oversee the results of studies and program reviews in order to validate existing and projected roadway and transportation layouts, traffic impacts of proposed developments, and recommended traffic safety enhancement projects on the basis of respective studies.
- Ensure technical reports and presentations explain research, findings, and recommendations to prevent, control, restore, or address environmental, design, and/or construction issues or opportunities.
- Develop a client base for providing high level traffic engineering services including identifying additional business development opportunities.
- Mentor staff to support their growth and professional development.
- Remain current in latest traffic engineering techniques and practices.
- Collaborates with professionals from a variety of disciplines, other engineers, planners, and DOT authorities on Federal, State, regional, and locally funded road and transportation improvement and development projects, as well as proposal and business development opportunities.
- Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and adhere to professional conduct and KLJ’s policies and procedures.
- Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, or closely related discipline.
- Master’s Degree is preferred.
- 10+ years of relevant post education experience in engineering and traffic design.
- Professional Engineer License required (multi-state preferred).
