As a project manager and consultant, you will lead and support a wide range of projects—from downtown transportation and parking studies to mobility master plans, TDM, shared mobility studies, zero emissions fleet transition plans, micro-mobility plans, bicycle, and pedestrian plans. This role will require developing new business for our planning practice services. We want someone who is curious, motivated, and passionate. 

We offer our employees more than just the basics. Our competitive advantage includes floating holidays that can be used when you want, opportunities to become an employee-owner, paid time to volunteer in your community on projects you’re passionate about, flexibility with hybrid and remote work, and the opportunity to contribute to research that advances our industry. Our firm is supportive of an entrepreneurial spirit, allowing our team to work on projects within our industry that you find personally exciting and fulfilling. As a skilled member of Walker Consultants, you will be given the opportunity to grow and develop your skills surrounded by committed, talented and enthusiastic co-workers.

 Daily responsibilities may include:

• client, budget, and schedule management, 
• technical development of deliverables,
• strategic input and direction of projects,
• managing the project team’s technical work on the project,
• contributing to the growth of our services,
• developing and expanding market growth in areas in which you are a subject matter expert,

• industry involvement with professional organizations,
• developing business to support the growth of the practice.

Walker Consultants is a financially stable, 100% employee-owned professional services firm that serves public- and private-sector clients by providing industry-leading transportation, transit, mobility, and parking planning-related services. We help provide access to and maintain the built environment. Because our firm is diverse in our services, well-established, and sought after, we work on leading-edge projects that shape our communities. In addition to contributing in your area of subject matter, you have opportunities to learn and become involved in other areas of our practice. 

From small towns to large urban metros and regional agencies, we help our clients build communities where people want to live, work, and have fun. For every project, we develop creative strategies that put people first and are rooted in data aligned with overall goals for transportation, economic development, climate, and land use. We are focused on the future, and our plans and policies are shaped by technology, data, and infrastructure that maximize today’s investments for what’s next.

As part of our Denver office, you will be an integral part of growing our West Region while supporting our national group of experts and collaborating with planners, engineers, and urban designers across the country to serve our clients. We cover a large geographic area, so there is plenty of opportunity to travel.

You’ll have an opportunity to test ideas, shape policy directly, and see your plans implemented. At Walker, we go beyond planning—we are implementers at the forefront of real change.

Walker is 100% employee-owned! Join us and become part of a company where you have a direct stake in our success. 

What makes this opportunity even more exciting is our true ownership program. At Walker, our equity-based model allows shareholders to directly benefit from the firm’s success, rather than a traditional ESOP that focuses only on stock appreciation. It’s a unique chance to grow with a company that values its people.
