ITS/Traffic Engineer
About The Position
We are seeking an ITS/Traffic Engineer to join our team in Raleigh, NC and help deliver technology-driven transportation solutions that improve safety, mobility, and operations for communities and agencies. Your role is to help deliver smarter, safer, and more reliable transportation systems through ITS and traffic engineering solutions, including traffic signals, fiber optic communications, IP cameras, dynamic message signs, detection systems, adaptive signal control, emergency vehicle preemption, transit signal priority, edge-computing technology, and connected, autonomous, and electric vehicle applications. You will apply emerging technologies, sound engineering judgment, and creative problem-solving to help address complex transportation challenges. Collaborate with colleagues, clients, and multidisciplinary project teams to deliver successful transportation projects with meaningful community impact. Support Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSM&O) projects that apply technology, data, and infrastructure solutions to improve safety, mobility, reliability, and overall roadway operations. Develop plans, layouts, drawings, and technical deliverables for ITS, traffic signal, signing and pavement marking, communications, traffic operations, and safety improvement projects. Conduct traffic engineering studies and engineering investigations, including intersection and corridor analyses, sight distance reviews, road safety audits, crash analyses, traffic modeling, intersection control evaluations, benefit-cost analyses, safety countermeasure assessments, planning analyses, field reviews, and design tasks. Evaluate design alternatives, site conditions, regulatory requirements, and agency criteria to help develop practical, effective, and constructible project solutions. Prepare technical documentation, specifications, system requirements, permit applications, reports, cost estimates, material quantity estimates, and labor-hour estimates for transportation technology projects. Support project delivery through plan reviews, shop drawing reviews, construction requests for information, progress documentation, field observations, system integration activities, quality reviews, computation checks, and design and drawing reviews.
