In this senior leadership role, you will work closely with multidisciplinary teams, project managers, contractors, subconsultants, and public agencies to deliver complex projects in alignment with client objectives, EXP's commercial goals, and our commitment to quality, safety, and sustainability. The Transit Lead provides strategic oversight of design development and implementation, supports integrated teams delivering major transit programs-including those where EXP serves as prime consultant-and guides teams and clients through critical phases of decision-making, risk management, and execution across the project lifecycle.
