• Conduct traffic operations, safety, and microsimulation analyses using HCM and HSM methodologies, Synchro, VISSIM, SIDRA, and related platforms.
• Evaluate transit, active transportation, freight, connectivity, and emerging mobility strategies that support stronger, more connected communities.
• Serve as a project manager or technical lead, guiding scope, schedule, budget, quality, and client satisfaction.
• Prepare reports, presentations, and recommendations that clearly communicate technical findings to clients, agencies, and stakeholders.
• Mentor junior staff, support proposal and interview efforts, and contribute to the continued growth of STV’s Texas transportation practice.
• Collaborate with roadway, traffic design, ITS, transit, environmental, and planning professionals on multidisciplinary projects.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Planning, or a related field.
• 11+ years of experience in transportation planning, traffic engineering, ITS/transportation technology, or related consulting work.

• Ability to apply travel demand models, transportation datasets, GIS, and visualization tools to solve problems and support decision-making.
• A collaborative leadership style with experience managing projects, guiding technical work, and mentoring team members.
• Strong writing, presentation, communication, and client relationship skills.
• Experience with traffic signal design, ITS, signing and pavement marking, traffic control, or roadway design is a plus.
