About The Position

AECOM Technical Services, Inc. is seeking a Civil Engineering in Middleton, WI. This role involves creating traffic microsimulation models using VISSIM to analyze existing and future conditions of highway corridors. The position requires compiling multiple input sources including traffic counts, origin-destination data, signal timing, speed data, and travel time data. Calibration of models to match field data following WisDOT validation criteria is essential. Additionally, the role involves creating deterministic traffic models using software like Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and Synchro to evaluate roadway capacity and traffic operations, analyzing future scenarios, and recommending alternatives to alleviate congestion. The engineer will also assist in intersection control evaluation (ICE) and prepare reports and technical memorandums detailing methodologies, analysis, results, and recommendations. Designing traffic signals using AutoCAD Civil 3D is also a key responsibility.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field of study
2 years of experience as a Civil Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Traffic Engineer, or a related occupation
Master's degree in Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related field of study (alternative to Bachelor's + experience)
Experience in completing at least one project designing traffic signals including the placement of signal heads, conduits, pull boxes, and traffic detector loops and writing
Experience in completing at least one project preparing reports and technical memorandums to cover the methodologies, analysis and results, and recommendations of the traffic studies
Experience designing traffic signals using AutoCAD Civil3D
Experience with Highway Capacity Software (HCS) and Synchro to evaluate roadway and traffic operations
Knowledge of standards and regulations including WisDOT standards, Traffic Signal Design Manual (TSDM), and Traffic, Engineering, Operations Safety Manual (TEOpS)
Experience with Intersection control evaluation (ICE) to determine most efficient and optimized control measure

Nice To Haves

Experience and skills gained in pursuit of university-level degree via coursework, projects, or internships (can be gained concurrently)
