Transportation Engineer - Traffic/Technology - Olsson

We are Olsson, a team-based, purpose-driven engineering and design firm. Our solutions improve communities and our people make it possible.

Our most meaningful asset is our people, and we are dedicated to providing an environment where they can continue to learn, grow, and thrive. Our entrepreneurial spirit is what has allowed us — and will continue to allow us — to grow. The result? Inspired people, amazing designs, and projects with purpose.

Olsson's Traffic/Technology team provides clients with a single resource for both traditional and niche traffic services. Our team handles traffic operation studies, pedestrian circulation studies, and intersection improvement/design projects. We specialize in traffic signal design and have notable expertise in signal timing. Additionally, we work on pavement marking design, street lighting analysis and design, DMS boards, bike ped-trail alignments, and evaluating and designing Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Our team is also proficient in more complex projects, including conducting citywide safety studies and improving signal systems.

Your responsibilities will include utilizing CAD software to create detailed design plans, conducting and supporting traffic studies, analyzing traffic patterns and data, contributing to a variety of different projects, and providing mentorship and technical guidance to less experienced staff.
