We are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this position. Applicants must already possess work authorization in the country the job is located.

What You Will Do:

• Manage traffic projects ranging in size and complexity and/or traffic tasks within larger projects.
• Manage or assist in managing staff plans, schedules, and budgets.
• Develop or assist in the development of traffic signal designs, traffic studies, safety studies, signing and pavement marking designs, and maintenance of traffic plans.
• Prepare technical reports.
• Prepare outward facing documents that present clear and concise findings to a general audience.
• Work within the standards and guidance of clients, both in the public and private sectors.

What You Will Bring:

• Must have a BA in Civil Engineering or related field.
• Must have a minimum of 8+ years of experience.

• While the job does not require outward facing coordination, it is preferable that a candidate is comfortable speaking with clients and subconsultants.
• Ability to train less experienced staff is a plus, but this is not a personnel management role.
• Florida is an emerging territory for Woolpert transportation, therefore the ability to work autonomously is required. In addition sales support or industry involvement may be required to assist in growing the region.
