Job description

Overview

ABOUT THE POSITION

VHB is looking for experienced Traffic Operations Engineers to play a key role in how people move safely and efficiently across our region. In this role, you won't just "do timing plans" - you'll shape how entire corridors operate, reduce congestion and crashes, and see your work make an immediate, visible impact on real-world traffic every day.

If you love digging into data, optimizing systems, and turning complex traffic challenges into implementable solutions, this is an opportunity to lead meaningful work with a collaborative, future-focused team.

These hybrid positions can be located in Tampa or Orlando. 

What You'll Do

  • Lead and support projects focused on traffic signal timing optimization and implementation to maximize transportation system throughput
    • Develop and refine timing plans using SYNCHRO, Tru-Traffic, and similar tools
    • Fine-tune performance in the field and see your changes in action
  • Work hands-on with ATMS software, controllers, and traffic signal cabinets to improve corridor operations and reliability
  • Perform traffic safety and operational improvement studies for key intersections and corridors across the Tampa Bay area
  • Analyze crash patterns, identify safety issues, and recommend crash-reduction strategies that make roads safer for all users
  • Collaborate closely with clients, agencies, and internal teams to turn technical analysis into clear, actionable recommendations

What You Bring (Skills & Abilities)

  • Strong communication skills (written and oral) with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
  • Proven ability to manage multiple assignments, prioritize effectively, and work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team
  • A proactive mindset, strong work ethic, and a genuine desire to keep learning, growing, and taking on new challenges
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work
  • Experience using MicroStation for plans and design support
  • Expertise with Synchro and SimTraffic; experience with VISSIM is a strong plus and will help you tackle more complex simulation work

What We're Looking For (Qualifications)

  • BS in Civil Engineering or a related discipline
  • 5-8+ years of professional traffic/transportation consulting experience, with a focus on traffic operations and signal retiming
  • Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification
  • PE licensure preferred or able to obtain within one year

Join us and help design smarter, safer, better-moving streets while working with a supportive team that values innovation, technical excellence, and work that truly matters.

 

Building what's next, together.

Our people make the difference. We foster a technology-empowered, peopledriven, futureready culture where agility, innovation, and collaboration shape how we work every day.

 

When you join VHB, you'll find:

  • Meaningful work on complex projects with real community impact
  • A collaborative, inclusive culture that values curiosity and shared success
  • Support to grow your skills and lead through change
  • Learning and development supported by evolving tools and technologies, including AI
  • Best-in-class benefits and a flexible, hybrid work environment

We're growing across the East Coast and are consistently recognized as a great place to work. Ready to shape what's next? Learn more about what sets our employee experience apart and connect with us.
