Practice Lead - Engineering & Planning

Desire to lead a practice - not just a project. You're energized by developing the next generation of engineers and planners to see your impact through what they deliver

Strategic thinking for where the practice should go, what work to pursue, and how to position the firm for what's next

Commitment to technical excellence as a personal standard and to remain a trusted senior voice on signature, complex projects

Excitement to craft and communicate a vision that bridges planning and engineering

15+ years of success on the types of transportation engineering and multimodal planning projects described above

Demonstrated success building and leading teams, programs, practices and projects

Experience in business development, proposal strategy, client development

A belief that strong engineering makes great planning real - and that streets are public places where engineering rigor and urban design strengthen one another

A commitment to creating safer, more equitable, and more sustainable transportation systems for the communities we serve

A PE is preferred. PTOE and/or AICP credentials are a plus. We welcome candidates whose careers have been rooted in either transportation engineering or multimodal transportation planning, provided they have demonstrated success leading integrated teams, delivering complex projects, and growing a transportation practice.
