Deputy traffic engineering group lead that directs and delegates engineering tasks to other team members. Participates in the design and preparation of engineering plans for highways, traffic control devices (including signing, pavement markings, and traffic signals for permanent and temporary conditions), construction staging, temporary detours, at transportation facilities such as train stations and marine ports, all according to applicable manuals, local regulations, client requirements, and industry standards. Designs traffic data collection plans, and coordinates with and oversees sub-consultants for execution of traffic data collection tasks for vehicular, bike and pedestrian traffic. Designs workflows for automating the analysis of traffic engineering data with programming tools (e.g. Python, SQL, VBA, etc.) for use in traffic analysis and modelling. Participates in, delegates, and oversees the preparation of traffic models and simulations (e.g. Synchro and VISSIM). Produces conclusions and recommendations for methods to improve traffic flow and safety. Leads transportation studies, analyzes large transportation data sets, and uses knowledge of transportation networks, to analyze the impact of a proposed project to existing transportation systems and infrastructure, and issues policy, design, or operations recommendations. Uses big-data analytics tools and platforms (e.g. Streetlight Data) to produce transportation demand metrics. Develops maps and illustrations with transportation patterns and information using GIS tools. Directs field visits to conduct surveys, inspections, and gather observations of traffic conditions at roadway construction sites and projects. Prepares and checks plans, specifications, design calculations, engineer’s cost estimations and recommendations prepared by other engineers for completeness, mathematical accuracy, and conformity to engineering practices and standards. Checks engineering drawings for completeness and correctness, marks up changes that need to be made, delegates updates to other team members, and verifies other team members’ work.
Telecommuting is allowed.
