Anticipate. Envision. Create.

Bring your technical skills, curiosity, and ideas to transportation projects that improve how people move through their communities. SCJ Alliance is seeking a licensed Project Engineer to join our Seattle transportation design team.

You’ll develop design solutions and collaborate with project managers and designers on roadway, corridor, intersection, roundabout, pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and stormwater projects for public-agency and Tribal clients.

Who we are

SCJ is a 100% employee-owned consulting firm with expertise in transportation planning and design, environmental and urban planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, and cable-propelled transit. Our range of disciplines creates opportunities to collaborate, exchange ideas, and approach projects from different perspectives.

Our mission is “Serving our clients, communities and each other with creativity, knowledge, insight and perspective.” Our values are curiosity, compassion, stewardship, integrity, and empowerment.

What our transportation engineering projects include:

Corridor design
Highway framework studies and IJRs
Signalized and roundabout intersection design
Downtown transportation revitalization projects
Roadway/highway design
Transit design
Stormwater design

What you’ll do

Develop and evaluate design alternatives and prepare plans, specifications, estimates, and technical reports.
Coordinate design tasks and support designers and less-experienced engineers.
Work with project managers to keep assignments aligned with project scopes, budgets, and schedules.
Collaborate with clients, agencies, and colleagues across disciplines to resolve challenges and move work forward.
Review deliverables for accuracy and completeness and follow quality assurance and quality control processes.

What you bring

A PE license and a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering or equivalent.
At least four years of progressively responsible transportation engineering experience.
Experience with AutoCAD Civil 3D and/or MicroStation-based design tools.
Sound technical judgment, initiative, and strong communication and organizational skills.
An interest in sharing knowledge, supporting teammates, and producing high-quality work.
Public-agency transportation design experience and familiarity with WSDOT standards are preferred.

What we bring

Employee ownership. A company-funded ESOP that gives eligible employees an ownership stake without requiring them to purchase shares, alongside a 401(k) plan to support retirement savings. ESOP participation and vesting are subject to plan requirements.

Meaningful work and room to grow. Work across disciplines and offices, learn from experienced teammates, and contribute ideas while growing your expertise. We value curiosity, give people room to take ownership, and support one another in delivering work that makes a difference in our communities.

People you can work with and laugh with. In employee surveys, our people and supportive culture consistently stand out as reasons staff enjoy working at SCJ.

Community connection. Opportunities to get involved and a charitable matching program.

Benefits that support your life:
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
- Company-provided life, AD&D, travel, and short- and long-term disability insurance.
- Employee assistance programs (EAPs).
- HSA and FSA options.
- PTO, paid holidays, and floating holidays.
- A 401(k) plan and employee stock ownership plan.
- Reimbursement for eligible licensing and professional organization expenses.
- An ORCA transit card for King County employees.

Location and work expectations

Our Seattle office is home to approximately 18 employees at 1201 Third Avenue. You’ll work with transportation colleagues in Seattle, Lacey, and Wenatchee. Most Seattle staff work in the office three or more days per week, with some flexibility for a hybrid schedule. Staff are expected to be available during regular business hours to collaborate and support their teams.

Tower 1201 offers a fitness center, secure bicycle storage, and a tenant clubhouse with lounge and gaming areas. Quiet spaces throughout the building provide a welcome complement to our open office layout, with dining, transit, and Seattle’s waterfront nearby.

Travel may include collaboration with other offices, conferences, and project site visits. Site visits are typically local, though occasional overnight travel may be required.
