A strong candidate should demonstrate knowledge of the capital project lifecycle (planning through maintenance and operations) and have a proven record of success in an individual contributor role. We are looking for a candidate who is a self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to speak on behalf of the team in a client-facing role.

• Project governance, e.g., organizational and process aspects (including boards/committees, interagency coordination, and third-party stakeholders common to DOT/transit programs)
• Risk management and analysis, e.g., risk register, quantitative (probabilistic) risk modeling, root cause analysis, issue management, prudency reviews (including service impacts, permitting/ROW/utility risks, and systems integration risks)
• Construction project management and controls, e.g., schedule control, cost control (budget, accruals, forecasts), earned value, change management (including work windows, safety in operating environments, and complex interfaces)
• Complex schedule analytics, e.g., critical path method (CPM), float, schedule compression/time-cost trade-off, change impacts (including staged construction and outage planning)
• Contract development and management, e.g., procurement processes, administration, scope control
• Performance metrics and project reporting (including dashboards aligned to capital delivery and operational readiness)
• Project technology, e.g., project and portfolio management, applications to quantify cause and effect of delays (including PMIS/document controls/scheduling toolsets typical in transit/transportation capital programs)
• Develop road mapping and strategic plans to be used by key business leaders to make informed investment decisions.

What You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
• Minimum of 3+ (THREE) years experience
• Experience directly leading client relationships and/or project teams
• Experience with federal, state, and local procurement regulations and requirements, including public-sector procurement practices common to DOT/transit agencies
• Engineering or technical expertise in project controls, project management technology, capital infrastructure, preferably within transportation/transit capital programs
• Experience drafting documents, memos, letters, and other formal communications to clients, including board-ready or stakeholder-facing materials
• The successful candidate must not be subject to employment restrictions from a former employer (such as a non-compete) that would prevent the candidate from performing the job responsibilities as described.
• Due to nature of client engagements, US Citizenship restrictions may apply
• No sponsorship is available for this position

What Would Be Nice to Have:

• Master's Degree (MBA, MPP, MPA, etc.)
• Project Management Professional (PMP), AICP, EIT, or PE
• Experience with Federal grant funding environments, including transportation funding programs (e.g., FTA, FHWA, USDOT), and associated compliance requirements such as grant administration, reporting, and oversight expectations
• Experience managing PMIS deployment across multiple industries, including transportation/transit capital delivery organizations
