About the role

Fehr & Peers is looking for an experienced Transportation Engineer or Planner to help lead meaningful, multimodal transportation projects that shape how people move through their communities.

In this role, you won’t just deliver projects—you’ll help define them. You’ll bring technical expertise, sound judgment, and a collaborative mindset to complex transportation challenges, while building strong client relationships and supporting the growth of those around you.

You’ll join a team that values initiative, thoughtful problem-solving, and mentorship. We trust our experienced staff to take ownership, contribute to strategy, and help move both projects and people forward.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and solve complex transportation planning and engineering challenges across all travel modes
  • Communicate technical concepts clearly through strong writing, presentations, and discussions with clients and stakeholders
  • Apply a range of analytical tools and software to develop practical, well-supported recommendations
  • Work across diverse project types, including traffic and transit simulation, corridor and campus plans, multimodal studies, and transportation impact analyses
  • Work on a variety of projects, which may include traffic and transit simulation, campus plans, multimodal corridor studies, transportation impact studies, bicycle and pedestrian studies, regional transportation plans, and more
  • Manage projects, including scope, schedule, budget, and client coordination
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships
  • Mentor and support the development of junior staff
  • Embrace opportunities to learn and adopt new tools, technologies, and ways of working that enhance day-to-day work, while maintaining professional judgment, critical thinking, and accountability for results

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in transportation planning or engineering, including experience in one or more of the following:
  • Traffic operations analysis (e.g., HCS, Synchro, VISSIM)
  • Traffic engineering and streetscape design
  • Transportation planning (e.g., bicycle/ transit plans, infrastructure finance, transportation and land use policy)
  • Travel demand forecasting (e.g., Cube/Voyager, TransCAD, EMME)
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in transportation, civil or electrical engineering, urban and regional planning, or a related field (e.g., geography, math, statistics, economics)
  • Strong technical writing and public speaking skills
  • Experience with project management and contributing to business development efforts
  • Professional license (highly desirable)
  • Willingness to travel to support projects and collaboration across offices
  • GIS experience (preferred, but not required)
  • Openness to exploring and responsibly using new technologies and tools, while maintaining critical thinking and professional judgment

At Fehr & Peers, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your expertise, take on leadership, and make a lasting impact—while working in an environment that values collaboration, mentorship, and balance.
