POSTINGS

There are 64 open transportation engineer jobs on the board right now, from 13 employers in 20 states. Of these, 2 are entry-level, 25 require a PE license and 4 ask for an EIT.

Transportation engineers plan and design the systems people and goods move through: highways and local roads, intersections and traffic signals, transit, rail, airports, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The work ranges from traffic studies and operations analysis to roadway geometry, drainage, signing and pavement-marking plans, and the plan sets that state departments of transportation and local agencies review and fund.

Many openings are with consulting firms delivering public-agency projects, so design standards, review cycles and procurement rules shape the day-to-day work. Entry-level roles typically involve design production in Civil 3D or OpenRoads, quantity takeoffs and support for licensed engineers. Project engineers and managers coordinate with agencies, lead design teams and manage schedules and budgets, and senior positions often require a PE license. Each job card below shows the license requirement the employer lists.
