  • Traffic operations analysis (e.g., HCS, Synchro, VISSIM)
  • Traffic engineering and streetscape design
  • Transportation planning (e.g., bicycle/ transit plans, infrastructure finance, transportation and land use policy)
  • Travel demand forecasting (e.g., Cube/Voyager, TransCAD, EMME)   
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in transportation, civil or electrical engineering, urban and regional planning, or a related field (e.g., geography, math, statistics, economics)  
  • Strong technical writing and public speaking skills  
  • Experience with project management and contributing to business development efforts  
  • Professional license (highly desirable) 
  • Willingness to travel to support projects and collaboration across offices
