Atlanta
office. This position will be a key hire to help grow our Traffic Engineering practice, including ITS design, signal design, traffic analysis, and traffic studies.
The WSP Traffic group serves clients from around the state on a wide variety of projects ranging from signal design and ITS system design, corridor studies, complex roadway projects, greenways, and more. This position is an excellent opportunity to continue to enhance design, analysis, and production skills and build relationships within WSP as well as with a large number of clients around the Southeast.
Your Impact
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, sub-consultants, 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 future-ready 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.
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 compliance 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 engineering, 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.
Collaborate 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.
Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
Who You Are
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, or closely related discipline.
10+ years of relevant post education experience in engineering and traffic design.
Engineer license required (multi-state preferred).
Prior demonstrated knowledge and experience of DOT advisory circulars and procedures.
Highly proficient with traffic engineering principles, practices, process, and design/build related to traffic control equipment, capacity and operational analysis, project management, and related communications systems.
Experience with roadway planning, design, and program/construction management; including project involvement in a variety of larger and more complex infrastructure projects.
Strong knowledge of relevant roadway transportation construction laws, codes, regulations, compliance practices, and record-keeping requirements.
Highly proficient with making technical computations and calculations involving the application of engineering principles.
Experience with planning and conducting inspections and investigations on various aspects of the construction and design of transportation corridors.
Highly effective interpersonal and communication skills when interacting with others.
Strong self-leadership and interpersonal communication skills.
Works independently to provide guidance and leadership to mid-level to senior level team or project members.
Proficiency with technical writing, office automation, AutoCAD, Microstation, or similar software.
Experienced with providing critical review for documents and preparing technical deliverables and plans.
Well-developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Demonstrated effectiveness at coordinating and directing subcontractors.
Proven track record of upholding workplace safety.
Must be flexible to a variety of schedules to meet business needs.
Occasional travel may be required depending on project-specific requirements.
