Where would you step in?
As a valuable member of our transportation team, you will be responsible for planning, designing, and implementing traffic engineering projects that enhance mobility, improve safety, and optimize traffic flow within communities. You’ll work closely with public agencies, municipalities, and private clients to develop innovative solutions that address complex traffic and transportation challenges. You could sit in either of our Connecticut offices (Middletown or Shelton). We offer a hybrid work environment and flexible Fridays in the summer.
Our Transportation Team and Projects
The transportation team focuses on planning, designing, and overseeing the construction of infrastructure projects such as highways, roads, and bridges. They work to ensure that these projects meet safety, efficiency, and environmental standards while accommodating current and future transportation needs. The team collaborates with public and private stakeholders to deliver projects that enhance mobility and connectivity within communities.
What will you be doing?
As a Traffic Engineer, you will be responsible for conducting traffic studies, safety analyses, and developing solutions to improve traffic flow and roadway safety. You’ll design traffic signals, signage, pavement markings, and prepare traffic control plans in compliance with local and federal standards. The role involves using traffic modeling software to analyze intersections and corridors, as well as collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and clients on transportation projects. You may also assist with public meetings and presentations, clearly communicating technical information to a variety of stakeholders.

To qualify for this position, you must hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering or a related field and have a minimum of five years of experience in traffic engineering projects.

Additionally, you must either be a registered Professional Engineer in Massachusetts or have the ability to obtain licensure within one year of starting the position.
