Job description

At Fehr & Peers, we are a diverse group of individuals with one thing in common-a passion for transportation. We value that same curiosity, initiative, and commitment to improving communities in our employees.

As a Transportation Engineer or Planner with 2-4 years of experience, you are building on a strong technical foundation and beginning to take on greater ownership in your work. This role represents an important step in your career-where you move from primarily executing tasks to helping shape project approaches, leading efforts, and mentoring others.

You'll work on a wide range of planning and engineering projects, developing both your technical expertise and your ability to manage projects, support clients, and contribute to the success of your team. Along the way, you'll be supported by a collaborative culture that values mentorship, encourages initiative, and empowers you to grow into a strong project manager.

Project Experience May Include:
  • Transportation impact studies (e.g. CEQA and non-CEQA studies)
  • Bicycle and pedestrian planning
  • Access, circulation, and parking studies
  • Multimodal operations assessments
  • Complete streets planning, operations, and design
  • Transit forecasting and operations
  • Travel behavior forecasting
  • Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) assessments
  • Systemic safety studies
  • Corridor and interchange studies
  • Climate action plans
  • Freight planning and TDM strategies
  • Conceptual through final design (e.g., bikeways, signals, signing and striping, roundabouts, lighting, temporary traffic control)
Responsibilities
  • Lead tasks and manage projects, including coordinating scope, schedule, and budget
  • Apply standard and intermediate analytical techniques independently, with appropriate guidance
  • Contribute to project approaches, problem-solving, and decision-making
  • Prepare clear, well-organized technical reports, memos, and presentations
  • Participate in and lead client meetings and support relationship development
  • Mentor entry-level staff and interns, including delegating, reviewing work and providing guidance
  • Assist with proposal efforts and business development initiatives
  • Balance multiple assignments while managing your own workload effectively
  • Conduct site visits and field data collection as needed
Growth & Development

In this role, you can expect to:

  • Take increasing ownership of your work and understand how it contributes to overall project success
  • Strengthen your project management skills by leading smaller efforts and coordinating with team members
  • Develop confidence in communicating technical concepts to clients, stakeholders, and the public
  • Build mentoring and delegation skills as you support junior staff
  • Begin developing an area of technical expertise while continuing to expand your overall skillset
  • Explore new tools and ideas through our internal Research and Development program
Qualifications
  • 2-4 years of relevant experience in transportation planning or engineering
  • 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)
  • Experience applying transportation analysis techniques with increasing independence
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas (experience in all is not required): transportation planning, traffic engineering, transportation design (conceptual through PS&E), complete streets,  traffic operations analysis,  or travel demand modeling
  • Familiarity with relevant software (experience with all is not required):
      • General: Microsoft Excel, GIS (ArcGIS, QGIS), CAD (AutoCAD, MicroStation)
      • Traffic Operations: HCS, Synchro/SimTraffic, Vistro, VISSIM, Sidra
      • Modeling: Cube/Voyager, TransCAD, VISUM, Emme
      • Programming: Python and/or R
  • Demonstrated ability to manage tasks, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to take initiative
  • Interest in mentoring others and contributing to a collaborative team environment
  • EIT certification (for engineering candidates) preferred; progress toward professional licensure encouraged
$97,000 - $115,000 a year

Placement within the stated pay range will be determined based upon education, experience, and qualifications.
