Our practice serves the Department of Transportation, local government agencies, and design-build partners. The team has a established history of delivering safe and efficient designs for intricate transportation systems. You will collaborate closely with these experts on challenging projects. Your responsibilities will include observing traffic conditions and collecting detailed data. You will evaluate intersection performance and complete in-depth corridor studies. Analysis using simulation and modeling software is a core part of the work. You will prepare preliminary and final plans for traffic signals and lighting. Additional duties include construction staging plans, traffic maintenance strategies, and signing and striping designs.
This position is based in Duluth, Minnesota. The role operates within a hybrid schedule. You will be in the office Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday are remote work days.
The ideal candidate lives or is prepared to relocate to a specific area. Your home must be close enough to reach our office efficiently. This requirement ensures quick response times for project needs. You will engage directly with public clients and partner organizations. Success depends on your ability to manage multiple projects at once. You must maintain a strong focus on safety and deadline adherence.
Your main duties will involve analyzing traffic patterns. This analysis guides signal timing strategies and intersection safety measures. You will collect observed counts and study turning movements. The data supports thorough intersection evaluations and corridor studies. You will design signal phasing and lighting configurations. Your plans will meet all department standards and criteria. Preparing construction documents is a key responsibility. These documents cover traffic control, signage, and striping. You will coordinate with consultants and government agencies. This ensures that analysis results match project specifications. Simulation and modeling software will test concepts early. You will use these tools to refine design decisions. Creating preliminary layouts is the first design step. Final plans must solve safety and operational challenges. You will explain your design choices to project teams. You will also ensure that construction staging preserves safe traffic flow.
To qualify, you must hold a valid professional engineer license. The license must be valid for traffic work in Minnesota. You need five to ten years of practical traffic engineering experience. Demonstrated skill with simulation and modeling software is required. Your background should include hands on work with traffic systems. You must be able to perform all essential job functions. The position demands strong problem solving and communication skills.
There are no specific nice to have qualifications listed for this post. The focus remains on core engineering abilities. Your expertise in civil infrastructure will be highly valued.
Required tools include Civil 3D and signal timing software. These platforms are essential for daily tasks. You will apply them to multiple project types. A commitment to continuous learning is expected. The role offers chances for professional development.
Practical notes
This role follows a hybrid schedule. You will work from the office Tuesday through Thursday. Remote work is permitted on Monday and Friday. Travel is generally not required for this position. The position is based in Duluth, Minnesota. Candidates must reside close enough to the office to allow for efficient response times.
