  • Civil Engineering Technology
• Post-graduate degree in Transportation Engineering or Traffic Engineering-related degree may be given additional consideration
• 2-4 years of specific, post-graduation, transportation engineering experience that includes experience with designing a roadway and associated infrastructure; development of manual calculations and analytical models for transportation analysis and design purposes; development of construction documents (drawings and specifications), coordination with other design team members, and experience in responding to construction phase queries and submittals.
• Completed or be in a position to complete the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and all other state requirements for certification as an EI/EIT is preferred.
• Pursuing Professional Engineer licensure (PE) within 36 months of being hired.
• Understanding of sustainable design principles and design practices and pursuing Envision and/or LEED AP accreditation is desirable
• Active membership in ITE, VASITE, ASHE, NSPE, ASCE or other related professional organizations is desirable
• A Civil (Transportation) Engineer II should be able to effectively utilize current company software programs for word processing, e-mail, and information management.
• Working familiarity with design and production software to a point of being able to utilize the software in the development of project documents and interact with other project team members in their use of the software is highly desirable.
• Previous experience with traffic operations, microsimulation, and travel demand forecasting may be given additional consideration.
• Working knowledge of traffic engineering programs such as VISSIM, Synchro, and Transmodeler may be given additional consideration.

Additional Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Ability to prepare effective and concise documents and correspondence.
• Ability to make presentations to a variety of groups
• Have a client-oriented attitude with a desire to provide outstanding professional services
