Job description

Apex Companies Remote (Fort Myers, FL; Naples, FL;) 2d ago

This role guides transportation and traffic engineering work for cities and counties across Florida. The position supports drive permit processing, impact analysis, and signal design while collaborating with clients and agencies.

Software engineers turn product ideas into working code. Engineers work in small teams, review each other's work, and ship in small batches. Most teams follow agile practices such as sprints and daily standups. Engineers also write tests, fix bugs, and improve performance. The field values clear communication as much as technical skill. Engineers spend part of every week on planning, code review, and debugging, not just writing new code. The ability to explain a technical decision in plain words separates strong engineers from the rest.

Key facts

Location: Remote (Fort Myers, FL; Naples, FL;)

Engagement: Project-based work for public agency clients

Team: Multidisciplinary teams in a national AEC firm

Years: 3+ years of traffic or transportation engineering experience

Degree: Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering or related field

License: Professional Engineer (PE) license in Florida, or eligibility within six months

Visa: Sponsorship not available now or in the future

What you'll do

Traffic Impact Statements (TIS) are developed for cities and counties across Florida to communicate project effects on operations and safety to public stakeholders.

Technical reports, design documents, and supporting calculations are prepared and delivered to support review, approval, and construction phases.

Coordination with clients, project managers, and permitting agencies is carried out to maintain schedules, expectations, and compliance across teams and authorities.

Multidisciplinary teams on transportation engineering projects are supported to integrate traffic solutions with planning, civil, and environmental disciplines.

Requirements

A Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering or related field is required, with foundational knowledge of design and analysis methods.

A Florida PE license, or the ability to obtain one within 6 months, is necessary for independent sign-off.

A minimum of 3+ years of experience in traffic or transportation engineering is mandatory, with demonstrated work on transportation projects.

A valid driver's license and a clean driving history are required for field visits and project travel.

Employment eligibility must be established without sponsorship, as sponsorship is not available now or in the future.

Proficiency in Synchro/SimTraffic is applied to model and evaluate traffic operations.

A preferred proficiency in HCS is used to assess freeway capacity and quality.

A preferred proficiency in MicroStation or AutoCAD is applied to prepare design documents and drawings.

Experience with FDOT driveway connection permitting ensures compliance with state access management rules.

Experience with Traffic Impact Statements for local municipalities supports review of project effects on surrounding systems.

Experience with traffic signal design is used to develop safe and efficient intersection solutions.

Practical notes

The company offers company-subsidized medical and dental coverage and company-paid life, short, and long-term disability.

The firm operates across a national network with multiple office locations.

Typical interview steps

Hiring for engineering roles usually starts with a recruiter screen, followed by one or two technical rounds. Candidates often solve a coding problem, discuss past projects, and answer system design questions. Some loops include a take-home task. Final rounds typically cover team fit and give candidates a chance to ask questions. Interviewers look for how you break down an unfamiliar problem, not just whether you reach the answer. Practicing a few problems aloud and reviewing your own past projects are the best preparation.

Good to know

Work in this field applies engineering principles to mobility, safety, and access management.

Projects often involve public agencies and require clear communication with municipal stakeholders.

Tools such as Synchro, SimTraffic, HCS, MicroStation, and AutoCAD support analysis and design deliverables.

Roles in this area typically involve state standards and local regulations, including FDOT requirements.

Professional licensure and continued competency are central to practice in traffic engineering.

Employment may require travel to project sites within the stated location parameters.
