Why You'll Love Working Here
We're not just another firm, we're a purpose-driven team of engineers, planners, landscape architects, and urban designers who believe streets should work for everyone. At Toole Design, you'll work alongside thought leaders and industry experts who are committed to mentoring and helping you grow your expertise. We offer:

What You'll Do
We design streets as public places, with engineers, planners, landscape architects, and urban designers working side by side. Your leadership style should support and encourage that collaboration.
Leading the Practice
As our Practice Lead, you'll mentor a talented team of engineers and planners, guide business development, help shape the firm's technical direction, and stay active on major projects that strengthen client relationships and grow the practice. You will report to our Engineering Director while collaborating closely with our Design and Planning Directors.
  • Lead business development and practice business planning in support of annual growth targets, in partnership with regional leadership
  • Support the practice's financial health through effective project delivery, workload management, staff development, and quality control
  • Collaborate with local, regional, and corporate leadership to advance practice priorities

  • Advance training, innovation, and quality control to keep our technical work at the forefront of the industry mentoring staff through project work
  • Support marketing and raise the practice's local and national visibility
  • Guide subject matter resource groups that support practice delivery, including traffic engineering, multimodal planning, transportation design and related specialties

Leading Projects
Serve as Principal-in-Charge, Project Director, Senior Technical Advisor, or Project Manager on major transportation planning and engineering efforts. You will provide leadership on transportation planning projects including:
  • Comprehensive plans, long range transportation plans, city- or area-wide mobility plans and corridor studies
  • Multimodal traffic impact analysis, traffic operations analysis, and safety analysis
  • Parking, curbside management, and transportation demand management strategies
  • Public engagement, policy development, and implementation strategies

You will provide leadership on transportation engineering and design projects including:
  • Multimodal street design that balances safety, mobility, access, and placemaking objectives applying safe systems principles
  • Conceptual geometric design for corridor and intersection reconfigurations, with hand-off to civil engineering for final design
  • Traffic signal design, retiming, and timing optimization
  • Signing, pavement marking, maintenance of traffic, and rapid-implementation design projects
  • Road safety audits, crash analysis, and countermeasure selection

What You'll Bring:
  • Desire to lead a practice - not just a project. You're energized by developing the next generation of engineers and planners to see your impact through what they deliver
  • Strategic thinking for where the practice should go, what work to pursue, and how to position the firm for what's next
  • Commitment to technical excellence as a personal standard and to remain a trusted senior voice on signature, complex projects
  • Excitement to craft and communicate a vision that bridges planning and engineering
  • 15+ years of success on the types of transportation engineering and multimodal planning projects described above
  • Demonstrated success building and leading teams, programs, practices and projects
  • Experience in business development, proposal strategy, client development
  • A belief that strong engineering makes great planning real - and that streets are public places where engineering rigor and urban design strengthen one another
  • A commitment to creating safer, more equitable, and more sustainable transportation systems for the communities we serve

A PE is preferred. PTOE and/or AICP credentials are a plus. We welcome candidates whose careers have been rooted in either transportation engineering or multimodal transportation planning, provided they have demonstrated success leading integrated teams, delivering complex projects, and growing a transportation practice.
