Job description

Build and lead a traffic department from the ground up.

This is a Traffic Project Manager and Department Lead role in Massachusetts working on projects across New England. You'll run traffic impact studies, access design and permitting and be the go-to traffic expert for the office and its clients.

There's real ownership here. Rather than slotting into an established team, you'll shape how the traffic group runs, who joins it and how it grows. The leadership team wants this function to be a core part of the New England office, so you'll have support and a genuine say in its direction.

And the pay reflects the responsibility, with $160,000 to $220,000 depending on experience plus a full benefits package. Private sector clients mean a steady flow of work and projects that move, without the long waits that come with public funding cycles.

What you'll do

Lead traffic engineering for private development projects and grow the department, including:

• Preparing and managing traffic impact and access studies, parking studies and trip generation analysis.
• Leading site access, signal and roadway improvement design.
• Steering projects through MassDOT and local permitting, including presenting at public hearings.
• Acting as the main point of contact for clients and managing budgets and schedules.
• Hiring, mentoring and developing traffic engineers.
• Supporting business development with new and existing clients.

What you'll need

• Significant traffic engineering experience, ideally on private development projects.
• A PE license, or the ability to get one.
• Strong knowledge of MassDOT and local permitting processes.
• Confidence presenting to planning boards and leading client meetings.
• Experience leading or mentoring a team, or ready to step up into that role.
